[PATCH 3.12 054/118] selinux: handle TCP SYN-ACK packets correctly in selinux_ip_postroute()

From: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>

commit 446b802437f285de68ffb8d6fac3c44c3cab5b04 upstream.

In selinux_ip_postroute() we perform access checks based on the
packet's security label. For locally generated traffic we get the
packet's security label from the associated socket; this works in all
cases except for TCP SYN-ACK packets. In the case of SYN-ACK packet's
the correct security label is stored in the connection's request_sock,
not the server's socket. Unfortunately, at the point in time when
selinux_ip_postroute() is called we can't query the request_sock
directly, we need to recreate the label using the same logic that
originally labeled the associated request_sock.

See the inline comments for more explanation.
