It is because the context set via setxattr is stored inside the kernfs
node and the kernfs tree is preserved across mounts/unmounts. It
actually behaves sort of like a normal filesystem backed by a block
device, just the "device" is represented by an in-memory kernfs tree
which is discarded at poweroff.
