Make sure that security_locked_down() is checked last so that a bogus
denial is not reported by SELinux when (ia->ia_valid & (ATTR_MODE |
ATTR_UID | ATTR_GID)) is zero.
Why would this be "bogus"?
I presume selinux is logging a denial ... but we don't then actually
deny the operation.
That would be nice to note here...
Granted, I didn't do a good job of describing the issue in the patch
description... I'll send a v2 with hopefully a better description.
