[PATCH v3 3/7] selinux: update type for number of class permissions in services code
From: Christian Göttsche
Date: Mon Aug 07 2023 - 13:11:59 EST
Security classes have only up to 32 permissions, hence using an u16 is
sufficient (while improving padding in struct selinux_mapping).

v3:
- drop type change of arithmetic variable; it might effect performance
as suggested by David.
- split bogus and corrected cast into separate patch
v2:
update commit description:
- mention struct selinux_mapping in the padding argument
(currently between the first and second member there are 2 bytes
padding)
- mention overflow in the cast argument and the result of setting
no bits due to it
