Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 333/486] smack: Revert "smackfs: Added check catlen"

From: Konstantin Andreev <andreev@...mel.ru>

[ Upstream commit c7fb50cecff9cad19fdac5b37337eae4e42b94c7 ]

This reverts commit ccfd889acb06eab10b98deb4b5eef0ec74157ea0

The indicated commit
* does not describe the problem that change tries to solve
* has programming issues
* introduces a bug: forever clears NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT
         in (struct smack_known *)skp->smk_netlabel.flags

Reverting the commit to reapproach original problem
