Subject: [PATCH 4.9 110/175] Smack: Fix wrong semantics in smk_access_entry()

From: Tianjia Zhang <tianjia.zhang@...ux.alibaba.com>

[ Upstream commit 6d14f5c7028eea70760df284057fe198ce7778dd ]

In the smk_access_entry() function, if no matching rule is found
in the rust_list, a negative error code will be used to perform bit
operations with the MAY_ enumeration value. This is semantically
wrong. This patch fixes this issue.
