A policy can still be loaded if it is missing userspace object classes
and permissions regardless of security_reject_unknown(), although the
object manager may later encounter a failure upon selinux_set_mapping(),
which internally calls security_reject_unknown() to decide how to
proceed, or direct attempts to lookup the class or permission via
string_to_security_class() or string_to_av_perm().
I don't know of anyone building policies with handle_unknown == reject
so it is unlikely that anyone is testing this case. deny is the
default. allow is set in Fedora/RHEL. Android uses deny.
