Sorry, I was rephrasing the text above when I accidentally hit send.
While my emails are generally a good source of typos, the above is
pretty bad, so let me try again ...
Why are we simply not always returning 0 in the case where MLS is not
enabled in the policy? The mls_context_to_sid() function is pretty
much a no-op in this case regardless of input and I worry that
returning EINVAL here is a deviation from current behavior which could
cause problems.
