Smack: Mark inode instant in smack_task_to_inode
/proc clean-up in commit 1bbc55131e59bd099fdc568d3aa0b42634dbd188
That change ("/proc clean-up") only went into 4.18 and hasn't been backported to stable, so does this make sense for earlier stable branches?
Ben.
resulted in smack_task_to_inode() being called before smack_d_instantiate. This resulted in the smk_inode value being ignored, even while present for files in /proc/self. Marking the inode as instant here fixes that.
