[PATCH] SELinux: Create a common helper to determine an inode label [ver #2]

From: David Howells

SELinux: Create a common helper to determine an inode label

Create a common helper function to determine the label for a new inode.
This is then used by:

- may_create()
- selinux_dentry_init_security()
- selinux_inode_init_security()

This will change the behaviour of the functions slightly, bringing them all
into line.
