This patch allows to accept percent-encoded object name as the forth
argument of /selinux/create interface to avoid possible bugs when we
supply an object name that includes whitespace or multibytes.

Why not use standard bash escaping instead of html entities?


Although I could not test this patch on named TYPE_TRANSITION rules,
but printk() messages for debugging seems to me the logic works correctly.
I assume the libselinux provide the logic to encode object name, so it shall
be applied transparently for the viewpoint of application.
