Subject: [PATCH] selinux: remove duplicated LABEL_INITIALIZED check routine

The 'isec->initialized == LABEL_INITIALIZED' is checked twice in a row,
since selinux was mainlined from Linux-2.6.12-rc2.

Since 'isec->initialized' is protected using spin_lock(&isec->lock)
within various APIs, it had better remove first exceptional routine.

With this commit, the code look simpler, easier to read and maintain.
