selinux: fix the default socket labeling in sock_graft()
The sock_graft() hook has special handling for AF_INET, AF_INET, and AF_UNIX sockets as those address families have special hooks which label the sock before it is attached its associated socket. Unfortunately, the sock_graft() hook was missing a default approach to labeling sockets which meant that any other address family which made use of connections or the accept() syscall would find the returned socket to be in an "unlabeled" state. This was recently demonstrated by the kcrypto/AF_ALG subsystem and the newly released cryptsetup package (cryptsetup v1.6.5 and later). This patch preserves the special handling in selinux_sock_graft(), but adds a default behavior - setting the sock's label equal to the associated socket - which resolves the problem with AF_ALG and presumably any other address family which makes use of accept().
