This leaves secure anon inodes created before first policy load with the 
unlabeled SID rather than defaulting to the SID of the creating task 
(kernel SID in that situation).  Is that what you want?  Alternatively 
you can just remove this test and let it proceed; nothing should be 
break and the anon inodes will get the kernel SID.
