Subject: [PATCH 4.9 123/218] selinux: use correct type for context length

From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@...glemail.com>

[ Upstream commit b97df7c098c531010e445da88d02b7bf7bf59ef6 ]

security_sid_to_context() expects a pointer to an u32 as the address
where to store the length of the computed context.

Reported by sparse:

    security/selinux/xfrm.c:359:39: warning: incorrect type in arg 4
                                    (different signedness)
    security/selinux/xfrm.c:359:39:    expected unsigned int
                                       [usertype] *scontext_len
    security/selinux/xfrm.c:359:39:    got int *
