Subject: [PATCH] selinux: Don't attempt to load policy in initramfs if it
 doesn't exist

Currently on at least Fedora, SELinux policy does not come in the
initramfs.  systemd will attempt to load *both* in the initramfs and
in the real root.

Now, the selinux_init_load_policy() API has a regular error return
value, as well as an "enforcing" boolean.  To determine enforcing
state, it looks for /etc/selinux/config as well as the presence of
"enforcing=" on the kernel command line.

Ordinarily, neither of those exist in the initramfs, so it will return
"unknown" for enforcing, and systemd will simply ignore the failure to
load policy.

(cherry picked from commit 37f78db2f4a33474fc349f406b0a0a48e9c573a2)
