security_secid_to_secctx() is not currently stackable (I'm
looking at 5.7-rc6) even for this simple case. call_int_hook()
does bail-on-fail and will try all hooks registered, looking for
a failure.

You need to replace the call_int_hook() with an explicit
hlist_for_each_entry(), as is done in security_inode_getsecurity().
