[PATCH 2/2] NFSv4 account for selinux security context when deciding to share superblock

From: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga at netapp.com>

Keep track of whether or not there was an selinux context mount
options during the mount. While deciding if the superblock can be
shared for the new mount, check for if we had selinux context on
the existing mount and call into selinux to tell if new passed
in selinux context is compatible with the existing mount's options.

Previously, NFS wasn't able to do the following 2mounts:
mount -o vers=4.2,sec=sys,context=system_u:object_r:root_t:s0
<serverip>:/ /mnt
mount -o vers=4.2,sec=sys,context=system_u:object_r:swapfile_t:s0
<serverip>:/scratch /scratch

2nd mount would fail with "mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was
specified" and var log messages would have:
"SElinux: mount invalid. Same superblock, different security
settings for.."
