Note that Jeongjun is not introducing SELinux support for SMC sockets
for the first time here; he is just updating the already existing
support to correctly map the new IPPROTO_SMC to the already existing
SECCLASS_SMC_SOCKET. We were already handling such sockets created via
socket(AF_SMC, ...); what changed was that they added support for
creating them via socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_SMC) too.
