Subject: [GIT PULL] SELinux fixes for v4.17 (#2)

Hi Linus,

One more small fix for SELinux: a small string length fix found by
KASAN.  I dislike sending patches this late in the release cycle, but
this patch fixes a legitimate problem, is very small, limited in
scope, and well understood.  There are two threads with more
information on the problem, the latest is linked below:

* https://marc.info/?t=152723737400001&r=1&w=2

If you're hesitant to pull this into v4.17 at such a late stage, it
probably isn't going to cause major problems as Stephen points out in
the thread linked above:

 "Such a setxattr() call can only be performed by a process
  with CAP_MAC_ADMIN that is also allowed mac_admin permission
  in SELinux policy. Consequently, this is never possible on
  Android (no process is allowed mac_admin permission, always
  enforcing) and is only possible in Fedora/RHEL for a few
  domains (if enforcing)."

Thanks,
-Paul
