[RFC][PATCH 1/5] smack: Set SMACK64TRANSMUTE only for dirs in smack_inode_setxattr()

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

Since the SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr makes sense only for directories, enforce
this restriction in smack_inode_setxattr().

Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 5c6d1125f8db ("Smack: Transmute labels on specified directories") # v2.6.38.x
