Reverse call graph of mls_context_to_sid():

mls_context_to_sid()
    mls_from_string()
        selinux_audit_rule_init()
            [...]
    string_to_context_struct()
        security_context_to_sid_core()
            [...]
        convert_context()
            [...]

string_to_context_struct() currently has the following code:

        rc = mls_context_to_sid(pol, oldc, &p, ctx, sidtabp, def_sid);
        if (rc)
                goto out;

        rc = -EINVAL;
        if ((p - scontext) < scontext_len)
                goto out;

In my patch, I tried to preserve the behavior of
string_to_context_struct(), at the expense of slightly changing the
behavior of selinux_audit_rule_init().

But if you think that's a bad idea or unnecessary, say so and I'll change it.
