Subject: [PATCH] SELinux: Fix RCU deref check warning in sel_netport_insert()
 [ver #2]

Fix the following bug in sel_netport_insert() where rcu_dereference() should
be rcu_dereference_protected() as sel_netport_lock is held.

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
security/selinux/netport.c:127 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:


rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
1 lock held by ossec-rootcheck/3323:
 #0:  (sel_netport_lock){+.....}, at: [<ffffffff8117d775>] sel_netport_sid+0xbb/0x226

stack backtrace:
