In the small window between strnlen_user() and copy_from_user() userspace
could alter the terminating `\0' character.

Don't try to "validate" a non-existing timeval.

settime() with a NULL timeval is silly but legal.

Permit add_key() to once again update a matching key rather than adding a
new one if a matching key already exists in the target keyring.

This bug causes add_key() to always add a new key, displacing the old from
the target keyring.

<id>urn:sha1:25a74f3ba8efb394e9a30d6de37566bf03fd3de8</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch disables the setting of SELinux xattrs on files created in
filesystems labeled via mountpoint labeling (mounted with the context=
option).  selinux_inode_setxattr already prevents explicit setxattr from
userspace on such filesystems, so this provides consistent behavior for
file creation.

<content type='text'>
This patch enables files created on a MLS-enabled SELinux system to be
accessible on a non-MLS SELinux system, by skipping the MLS component of
the security context in the non-MLS case.
