File labels assigned using the lookup_best_match() function do not
assign the best match if its regex contains metacharacters.
For non-exact regex matches, lookup_best_match() finds the closest match
by tracking the length of the matching prefix. Prefix match is tracked via
the prefix_len variable. This was previously calculated and set in
the spec_hasMetaChars() function. Commit 3cb6078 removed the
prefix_len calculation, this commit restores it.
v2 changes:
label_file.c - set prefix_len in load_mmap. Needed for binary file_contexts
files.
