No point bloating core kernel for selinux mess.  And this whole routine
should rather go away rather than moving it to core code.  While doing
pathname based lookup for the label might work for the limited case
of sysctl where there are no symlinks but is a rather dumb idea in
general.  And reconstructing this path from the sysctl tables is twice
as dumb.
