- sysctl-remove-the-proc_dir_entry-member-for-the-sysctl-tables-fix-2.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     sysctl: restore the selinux path based label lookup for sysctls
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     sysctl-remove-the-proc_dir_entry-member-for-the-sysctl-tables-fix-2.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into sysctl-remove-the-proc_dir_entry-member-for-the-sysctl-tables.patch

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sysctl: restore the selinux path based label lookup for sysctls
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

This time instead of generating the generating the paths from proc_dir_entries
generate the labels from the names in the sysctl ctl_tables themselves.  This
removes an unnecessary layer of indirection, allows this to work even when
procfs support is not compiled into the kernel, and especially allows it to
work now that ctl_tables no longer have a proc_dir_entry field.

I continue passing "proc" into genfs sid although that is complete nonsense to
allow existing selinux policies to work without modification.
