This patch broke `semanage node -l` on Fedora [1]

IndexError: list index out of range
While the `IndexError: list index out of range` error can be simply fixed, it
uncovered the problem that semanage uses attibutes to list certain records -
node_type, port_type, file_type, device_node, ... and these attributes can disappear when
there's only 1 type assigned.
I guess it should be reverted as there's no other way how to find out that a
type node_t is node_type.
