[GIT PULL] SELinux patches for v5.8

Hi Linus,

Here are the SELinux patches for v5.8.  All the patches pass our test
suite and as of about 15 minutes ago they apply cleanly to the top of
your tree.  Please merge into v5.8.

The highlights:

- A number of improvements to various SELinux internal data structures
to help improve performance.  We move the role transitions into a hash
table.  In the content structure we shift from hashing the content
string (aka SELinux label) to the structure itself, when it is valid.
This last change not only offers a speedup, but it helps us simplify
the code some as well.

- Add a new SELinux policy version which allows for a more space
efficient way of storing the filename transitions in the binary
policy.  Given the default Fedora SELinux policy with the unconfined
module enabled, this change drops the policy size from ~7.6MB to
~3.3MB.  The kernel policy load time dropped as well.

- Some fixes to the error handling code in the policy parser to
properly return error codes when things go wrong.

Thanks,
-Paul
