  To: selinux

`selinux_check_passwd_access_internal()`, and thereby
`checkPasswdAccess(3)` and `selinux_check_passwd_access(3)`, does not
respect the policy defined setting of `deny_unknown`, like
`selinux_check_access(3)` does.
This means in case the security class `passwd` is not defined, success
is returned instead of failure, i.e. permission denied.

Most policies should define the `passwd` class and the two affected
public functions are marked deprecated.

Align the behavior with `selinux_check_passwd_access(3)` and respect
the deny_unknown setting in case the security class is not defined.
