[PATCH] libselinux: Change the location of _selinux.so

[PATCH] libselinux: Change the location of _selinux.so

[Petr Lautrbach]

There was a change in swig-3.10 to use importlib instead of imp. While
the implementation with imp looked for _selinux.so also into the same directory
as __init__.py is, a new module with importlib searchs only standard paths.
It means that we need to move _selinux.so from $(PYLIBDIR)/site-packages/selinux/
to $(PYLIBDIR)/site-packages/.

Fixes:
>>> import selinux
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    _selinux = swig_import_helper()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py", line 20, in swig_import_helper
    return importlib.import_module('_selinux')
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module
    __import__(name)
ImportError: No module named _selinux
