[PATCH 4/7] selinux: Implementation for inode_copy_up_xattr() hook

[Vivek Goyal]

When a file is copied up in overlay, we have already created file on upper/
with right label and there is no need to copy up selinux label/xattr from
lower file to upper file. In fact in case of context mount, we don't want
to copy up label as newly created file got its label from context= option.
