Al Viro e3fea3f70f selinux: fix selinux_inode_setxattr oops
OK, what we have so far is e.g.
	setxattr(path, name, whatever, 0, XATTR_REPLACE)
with name being good enough to get through xattr_permission().
Then we reach security_inode_setxattr() with the desired value and size.
Aha.  name should begin with "security.selinux", or we won't get that
far in selinux_inode_setxattr().  Suppose we got there and have enough
permissions to relabel that sucker.  We call security_context_to_sid()
with value == NULL, size == 0.  OK, we want ss_initialized to be non-zero.
I.e. after everything had been set up and running.  No problem...

We do 1-byte kmalloc(), zero-length memcpy() (which doesn't oops, even
thought the source is NULL) and put a NUL there.  I.e. form an empty
string.  string_to_context_struct() is called and looks for the first
':' in there.  Not found, -EINVAL we get.  OK, security_context_to_sid_core()
has rc == -EINVAL, force == 0, so it silently returns -EINVAL.
All it takes now is not having CAP_MAC_ADMIN and we are fucked.

All right, it might be a different bug (modulo strange code quoted in the
report), but it's real.  Easily fixed, AFAICS:

Deal with size == 0, value == NULL case in selinux_inode_setxattr()
