isSELinuxEnabled() is more general; it will return false if:
- SELinux was disabled in the build,
- SELinux was enabled in the build but not in the kernel,
- SELinux was enabled in the build and the kernel but no policy was
loaded.

In any of those cases, you just want to disable the userspace SELinux
processing, so a simple check of isSELinuxEnabled() is what you want.  I
don't see a need to check the build property from userspace aside from
the special case in the Settings app.
