Subject: [PATCH] selinux: change security_compute_sid to return the ssid or
 tsid on match

If the end result of a security_compute_sid() computation matches the
ssid or tsid, return that SID rather than looking it up again. This
avoids the problem of multiple initial SIDs that map to the same
context.
