Subject: [PATCH] exec: Add support for ignoring errors on SELinuxContext by
 prefixing it with -, like for others settings.

Also remove call to security_check_context, as this doesn't serve anything, since
setexeccon will fail anyway.

(cherry picked from commit 0d3f7bb3a5bc6d5c0712f88a080fed388981bca3)
