Subject: [PATCH 2/3] selinux: Return an error code only as a constant in
 sidtab_insert()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 11:33:53 +0200

* Return an error code without storing it in an intermediate variable.

* Delete the local variable "rc" and the jump label "out" which became
  unnecessary with this refactoring.
