Subject[3/8] selinux: use default proc sid on symlinks
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov>

commit ea6b184f7d521a503ecab71feca6e4057562252b upstream.

As we are not concerned with fine-grained control over reading of
symlinks in proc, always use the default proc SID for all proc symlinks.
This should help avoid permission issues upon changes to the proc tree
as in the /proc/net -> /proc/self/net example.
This does not alter labeling of symlinks within /proc/pid directories.
ls -Zd /proc/net output before and after the patch should show the difference.
