Right, that's not really surprising. But it is a bit surprising that
we care for the security context only if we add a socket policy via
the pfkey key manager. The security context is not handled if we do
that with the netlink key manager, see xfrm_compile_policy().

I'm not that familiar with selinux and labeled IPsec, but maybe this
needs to be implemented in xfrm_compile_policy() too.
