Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/7] smack: fix label check in smack_kernel_act_as()

The function smack_kernel_act_as() must return -EINVAL if the label
returned by smack_from_secid() is equal to 'smack_known_invalid.smk_known',
which means that no entries in the 'smack_known_list' list matching the
security identifier given are found.
