selinux: Cache NetLabel secattrs in the socket's security struct
Previous work enabled the use of address based NetLabel selectors, which while highly useful, brought the potential for additional per-packet overhead when used. This patch attempts to mitigate some of that overhead by caching the NetLabel security attribute struct within the SELinux socket security structure. This should help eliminate the need to recreate the NetLabel secattr structure for each packet resulting in less overhead.
