NAK. You are incorrect on both counts and evidently didn't try compiling.
At a purely source level, I agree it might look confusing, but the
Makefile adds the security/selinux/include directory (where security.h
lives) to the include path and selinux_netlink.h lives under
include/uapi/linux which is auto-magically included.
