Subject: [PATCH] Fix SELinux labels in cgroup filesystem root directory
 (#7496)

When using SELinux with legacy cgroups the tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup is by
default labelled as tmpfs_t. This label is also inherited by the "cpu"
and "cpuacct" symbolic links. Unfortunately the policy expects them to
be labelled as cgroup_t, which is used for all the actual cgroup
filesystems. Failure to do so results in a stream of denials.

This state cannot be fixed reliably when the cgroup filesystem structure
is set-up as the SELinux policy is not yet loaded at this
moment. It also cannot be fixed later as the root of the cgroup
filesystem is remounted read-only. In order to fix it the root of the
cgroup filesystem needs to be temporary remounted read-write, relabelled
and remounted back read-only.

(cherry picked from commit 8739f23e3c26bbf8b0296421578e56daa63cbf4b)
