Subject: SELinux: don't check permissions for kernel mounts
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=74192246910ff4fb95309ba1a683215644beeb62;p=linux-beck.git

SELinux: don't check permissions for kernel mounts

Don't bother checking permissions when the kernel performs an
internal mount, as this should always be allowed.
