mknod, mkfifo: don't segfault when diagnosing invalid SELinux context
Identical to the bug fixed by 72d052896a9092b811961a8f3e6ca5d151a59be5. * src/mkfifo.c (main): Use "scontext", not NULL optarg in diagnostic. * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise. Reported by Cristian Cadar, Daniel Dunbar and Dawson Engler. * tests/mkdir/selinux: Test for the above fixes. * NEWS: Mention the fixes.

of libselinux. E.g., ls -l /proc/sys would dereference a NULL pointer.
"mkdir -Z x dir" no longer segfaults when diagnosing invalid context "x"
+ mkfifo and mknod would fail similarly. Now they're fixed.
mv would mistakenly unlink a destination file before calling rename,
when the destination had two or more hard links. It no longer does that.
