Thanks for catching this. I'll initialize 'sclass' unconditionally to
SECCLASS_ANON_INODE in the next version. Also, do you think I should
add a check that context_inode's sclass must be SECCLASS_ANON_INODE to
confirm that we never receive a regular inode as context_inode?

I don't think there is any requirement of supporting context_inode
which isn't anon-inode. And even if there is, as you described
earlier, for ANON_INODE__CREATE to work the sclass has to be
SECCLASS_ANON_INODE. I'll appreciate comments on this from others,
particularly Daniel and Stephen who originally discussed and
implemented this patch.
