The use case for this new functionality (and the other one) is getting
SELinux information from the Lustre client code in kernel space.
Latest patch can be accessed at:
https://review.whamcloud.com/24421
Actual user is sptlrpc_get_sepol() function in lustre/lustre/ptlrpc/sec.c file.
This code will be pushed to the upstream kernel as soon as it is
landed into Lustre master branch.
