Subject: [GIT PULL] Smack patches for v5.10

Here are two minor fixes and one performance enhancement to Smack
for the v5.10 release. The netlabel cache changes have been in linux-next
for several weeks. The performance improvement is significant and the
new code is more like its counterpart in SELinux.
