Yes.  That's why there are two operations. inode_copy_up() should set the
label appropriately and inode_copy_up_xattr() should prevent the label set by
inode_copy_up() from being clobbered.

Note that inode_copy_up() has access to the lower file label and can perform
some sort of incantation to transmute it before applying it.
