    selinux: fix the default socket labeling in sock_graft() · 4da6daf4

    The sock_graft() hook has special handling for AF_INET, AF_INET, and
    AF_UNIX sockets as those address families have special hooks which
    label the sock before it is attached its associated socket.
    Unfortunately, the sock_graft() hook was missing a default approach
    to labeling sockets which meant that any other address family which
    made use of connections or the accept() syscall would find the
    returned socket to be in an "unlabeled" state.  This was recently
    demonstrated by the kcrypto/AF_ALG subsystem and the newly released
    cryptsetup package (cryptsetup v1.6.5 and later).
    
    This patch preserves the special handling in selinux_sock_graft(),
    but adds a default behavior - setting the sock's label equal to the
    associated socket - which resolves the problem with AF_ALG and
    presumably any other address family which makes use of accept().
