Subject: [GIT PULL] SELinux fixes for v6.1 (#1)

Hi Linus,

A small SELinux fix for v6.1 to fix a GFP_KERNEL allocation while a
spinlock is held.  The patch, while still fairly small, is a bit
larger than one might expect from a simple s/GFP_KERNEL/GFP_ATOMIC/
conversion because we added support for the function to be called with
different gfp flags depending on the context, preserving GFP_KERNEL
for those cases that can safely sleep.

Please merge for v6.1-rcX.
-Paul
