This isn't necessarily true in the PCRE2 case; the file_contexts.bin
file may have been generated without the precompiled regexes (via
sefcontext_compile -r) or the regex architecture string may not match
and thus the precompiled regexes cannot be used. You probably need to
pass &spec->regex_compiled to regex_load_mmap() and let it set the bool
appropriately.
