    Pull SELinux updates from Paul Moore:
     "We've got twenty SELinux patches for the v5.7 merge window, the
      highlights are below:
    
       - Deprecate setting /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 1.
    
         This flag was originally created to deal with legacy userspace and
         the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. We changed the default from
         1 to 0 back in Linux v4.4 and now we are taking the next step of
         deprecating it, at some point in the future we will take the final
         step of rejecting 1.
    
       - Allow kernfs symlinks to inherit the SELinux label of the parent
         directory. In order to preserve backwards compatibility this is
         protected by the genfs_seclabel_symlinks SELinux policy capability.
    
       - Optimize how we store filename transitions in the kernel, resulting
         in some significant improvements to policy load times.
    
       - Do a better job calculating our internal hash table sizes which
         resulted in additional policy load improvements and likely general
         SELinux performance improvements as well.
    
       - Remove the unused initial SIDs (labels) and improve how we handle
         initial SIDs.
    
       - Enable per-file labeling for the bpf filesystem.
    
       - Ensure that we properly label NFS v4.2 filesystems to avoid a
         temporary unlabeled condition.
    
       - Add some missing XFS quota command types to the SELinux quota
         access controls.
    
       - Fix a problem where we were not updating the seq_file position
         index correctly in selinuxfs.
    
       - We consolidate some duplicated code into helper functions.
    
       - A number of list to array conversions.
    
       - Update Stephen Smalley's email address in MAINTAINERS"
