[RFC PATCH] selinux: add a fallback to defcontext for native labeling

[Taras Kondratiuk]

When files on NFSv4 server are not properly labeled (label doesn't match
a policy on a client) they will end up with unlabeled_t type which is
too generic. We would like to be able to set a default context per
mount. 'defcontext' mount option looks like a nice solution, but it
doesn't seem to be fully implemented for native labeling. Default
context is stored, but is never used.

The patch adds a fallback to a default context if a received context is
invalid. If the inode context is already initialized, then it is left
untouched to preserve a context set locally on a client.
