[PATCH 04/13] security/selinux: check for LOOKUP_RCU in _follow_link.

[NeilBrown]

Some of dentry_has_perm() is not rcu-safe, so if LOOKUP_RCU
is set in selinux_inode_follow_link(), give up with
-ECHILD.

It is possible that dentry_has_perm could sometimes complete
in RCU more, in which case the flag could be propagated further
down the stack...
