While trying out a custom SELinux policy for systemd, some denials
during system boot seem odd to me.
systemd pid 1 runs as systemd_t and has no execute_no_trans permissions.
The system runs in enforced mode, but systemd_t is currently a
permissive domain.
For debug purpose `auditallow systemd_t domain:process2 {
nnp_transition nosuid_transition };` is active.

Somehow the source context is systemd_t, while the pid is not 1 (and
the proctitle is not systemd).
Is maybe the context transition in the `nnp_transition` case delayed?
