selinux: enable genfscon labeling for sysfs and pstore files
Support per-file labeling of sysfs and pstore files based on genfscon policy entries. This is safe because the sysfs and pstore directory tree cannot be manipulated by userspace, except to unlink pstore entries. This provides an alternative method of assigning per-file labeling to sysfs or pstore files without needing to set the labels from userspace on each boot. The advantages of this approach are that the labels are assigned as soon as the dentry is first instantiated and userspace does not need to walk the sysfs or pstore tree and set the labels on each boot. The limitations of this approach are that the labels can only be assigned based on pathname prefix matching. You can initially assign labels using this mechanism and then change them at runtime via setxattr if allowed to do so by policy.
