The fact that we only reference labeling_behaviors in one spot, and
even then we only use it as a parameter to ARRAY_SIZE(), makes me
believe we may be able to get rid of labeling_behaviors and use
SECURITY_FS_USE_MAX in its place.

Anyone working on any patches which make use of labeling_behaviors?
