Subject: [GIT PULL] SELinux fixes for v4.18 (#1)

Hi Linus,

One fairly straightforward patch to fix a longstanding issue where a
process could stall while accessing files in selinuxfs and block
everyone else due to a held mutex.  The patch passes all our tests and
looks to apply cleanly to your current tree.  Please pull this as a
fix for v4.18.

Thanks,
-Paul
