Subject: [GIT PULL] Smack patches for 6.5

Hello Linus,

Here is the Smack pull request for v6.5.

There are two patches, both of which change how Smack initializes
the SMACK64TRANSMUTE extended attribute. The first corrects the
behavior of overlayfs, which creates inodes differently from other
filesystems. The second ensures that transmute attributes specified
by mount options are correctly assigned. These updates have been in
the next branch and pass all tests. Thank you.

The following changes since commit ac9a78681b921877518763ba0e89202254349d1b:

  Linux 6.4-rc1 (2023-05-07 13:34:35 -0700)
