[PATCH] Add DAC check for setxattr(security.selinux)

This patch against 2.6.9 adds a DAC ownership check to the existing MAC
permission checks when setting the security.selinux attribute via setxattr.
In the past, the MAC permission checks were viewed as sufficient for
controlling relabeling operations, but experience in the Fedora SELinux
integration has shown that a DAC check is also appropriate here,
particularly under targeted policy.
