[RFC PATCH 3/7] SELINUXNS: Fix initilization of the superblock security under spinlock

From: Igor Baranov <igor.baranov at huawei.com>

After porting 3378718ef7d4a837f32c63bdfcc0b70342cdd55d,
selinux_superblock() started being called from under spinlock, along
with kzalloc(GFP_NOFS), which causes a scheduling while atomic error.
The solution is to take the call to selinux_superblock() out from under
the spinlock.
