incorrect value?

  This patch corrects this problem and does some cleanup
in avc_insert() while we are there.

submitting-patches.rst recommends describing in imperative mood and avoiding the words "patch" in what will eventually just be a commit log, ala "Correct this problem and perform some cleanup..."

Should probably add a:

Fixes: fa1aa143ac4a ("selinux: extended permissions for ioctls")

Might be easier to back port if you split the cleanup from the fix, but your call of course.
