[RFC PATCH 19/20] selinux: status: avoid implicit conversions regarding enforcing status

From: Christian Göttsche
Date: Thu Jul 06 2023 - 09:24:58 EST


Use the type bool as parameter type in
selinux_status_update_setenforce(). The related function
enforcing_enabled() returns the type bool, while the struct
selinux_kernel_status member enforcing uses an u32.
