[PATCH 5.10/5.15/6.1] selinux: avoid implicit conversions in services code

[Alexander Martyniuk]

From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c50e125d057152bc68dfd5669b73611343653eb7 upstream.

Use u32 as the output parameter type in security_get_classes() and
security_get_permissions(), based on the type of the symtab nprim
member.

Declare the read-only class string parameter of
security_get_permissions() const.

Avoid several implicit conversions by using the identical type for the
destination.

Use the type identical to the source for local variables.
