Currently symlinks on kernel filesystems, like sysfs, are labeled on
creation with the parent fs root sid.

Allow symlinks to inherit the parent directory context, so fine-grained
kernfs labeling can be applied to symlinks too and checking contexts
doesn't complain about them.

For backward-compatibility this behavior is contained in a new policy
capability: kernfs_sovereign_symlinks
