SELinux: Handle opening of a unioned file

Handle the opening of a unioned file by trying to derive the label that would be attached to the union-layer inode if it doesn't exist. If the union-layer inode does exist (as it necessarily does in overlayfs, but not in unionmount), we assume that it has the right label and use that. Otherwise we try to get it from the superblock. If the superblock has a globally-applied label, we use that, otherwise we try to transition to an appropriate label. This union label is then stored in the file_security_struct. We then perform an additional check to make sure that the calling task is granted permission by the union-layer inode label to open the file in addition to a check to make sure that the task is granted permission to open the lower file with the lower inode label.
