[PATCH] selinux: Fix all those pesky denials breaking my computer

[Sultan Alsawaf]

From: Sultan Alsawaf <sultan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm sure many of you have found yourself in a position where you've
tried to increase the security of your system by enabling SELinux, only
to discover that nothing worked anymore because of those darned 'denial'
messages. It's clearly an overlooked bug in SELinux!

With a bit of investigation, I discovered that the avc_denied() function
would erroneously return a non-zero value when I saw those denial
messages. After slapping in a `return 0;` at the top of that function,
all was well and my machine with SELinux enforcing was working again!
