Subject: [PATCH 16/20] SELinux: more user friendly unknown handling printk

From: Eric Paris <eparis@...hat.com>

I've gotten complaints and reports about people not understanding the
meaning of the current unknown class/perm handling the kernel emits on
every policy load.  Hopefully this will make make it clear to everyone
the meaning of the message and won't waste a printk the user won't care
about anyway on systems where the kernel and the policy agree on
everything.
