Looks good to me.
On question, in contrast to smack, selinux returns 1 instead of 0 on
success. So selinux would cause an early return preventing other hooks
from running. Just making sure that this is intentional.

Iirc, this would mean that selinux causes fsconfig() to return a
positive value to userspace which I think is a bug; likely in selinux.
So I think selinux should either return 0 or the security hook itself
needs to overwrite a positive value with a sensible errno that can be
seen by userspace.
