Subject: selinux: Clean up initialization of isec->sclass
From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 13457d073c29da92001f6ee809075eaa8757fb96 upstream.
Now that isec->initialized == LABEL_INITIALIZED implies that
isec->sclass is valid, skip such inodes immediately in
inode_doinit_with_dentry.
For the remaining inodes, initialize isec->sclass at the beginning of
inode_doinit_with_dentry to simplify the code.
