Subject: [PATCH 4.9 033/102] selinux: Remove redundant check for unknown labeling behavior

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@...omium.org>

commit 270e8573145a26de924e2dc644596332d400445b upstream.

The check is already performed in ocontext_read() when the policy is
loaded. Removing the array also fixes the following warning when
building with clang:

security/selinux/hooks.c:338:20: error: variable 'labeling_behaviors'
    is not needed and will not be emitted
    [-Werror,-Wunneeded-internal-declaration]
