Fair point.  What does SBLABEL_MNT mean precisely?  It seems to indicate one
of an odd mix of behaviours.  I presume it means that we *have* to calculate a
label and can't get one from the underlying fs if it is not set.

Also, in:

	sbsec->flags |= SE_SBINITIALIZED;
	if (selinux_is_sblabel_mnt(sb))
		sbsec->flags |= SBLABEL_MNT;

should SE_SBINITIALIZED be set after SBLABEL_MNT?  And should there be a
memory barrier in here somewhere before the setting of SE_SBINITIALIZED?
