[PATCH 2/2] selinux: fix SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS flag handling on double mount

When mounting an NFS export that is a mountpoint on the host, doing the
same mount a second time leads to a security_sb_set_mnt_opts() call on
an already intialized superblock, which leaves the
SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS flag unset even if it's provided by the FS.
NFS then obediently clears NFS_CAP_SECURITY_LABEL from its server
capability set, leading to any newly created inodes for this superblock
to end up without labels.

To fix this, make sure to return the SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS flag
when security_sb_set_mnt_opts() is called on an already initialized
superblock with matching security options.

While there, also do a sanity check to ensure that
SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS is set in kflags if and only if
sbsec->behavior == SECURITY_FS_USE_NATIVE.

Minimal reproducer:
    # systemctl start nfs-server
    # exportfs -o rw,no_root_squash,security_label localhost:/
    # mount -t nfs -o "nfsvers=4.2" localhost:/etc /mnt
    # mount -t nfs -o "nfsvers=4.2" localhost:/etc /mnt
    # ls -lZ /mnt
    [all labels are system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0]
