It means the filesystem supports per-file labeling and you can use
setxattr(..."security.selinux") and setfscreatecon() for files on it.
You can see whether it is set on a filesystem by looking for the
seclabel option in cat /proc/mounts. If it is not set, then we ignore
tsec->create_sid. It is arguable as to whether it is correct to always
call security_transition_sid() there either, but that's another topic.

I believe that's all under sbsec->lock held by the caller, but that code
has changed a lot and been refactored significantly by others.
