[PATCH 1/2] smack: fix bug: unprivileged task can create labels

If an unprivileged task is allowed to relabel itself
(/smack/relabel-self is not empty),
it can freely create new labels by writing their
names into own /proc/PID/attr/smack/current
This occurs because do_setattr() imports
the provided label in advance,
before checking "relabel-self" list.
This change ensures that the "relabel-self" list
is checked before importing the label.
Fixes: 38416e53936e ("Smack: limited capability for changing process label")
