Well, this was wrong anyway, I trusted the commit message from when
validatetrans was exposed in selinuxfs:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f9df6458218f4fe8a1c3bf0af89c1fa9eaf0db39

but It was incorrect, 0 is not returned on success, the length written
is returned.

Will resend soon. Thanks again.
