mkdir: fix -pZ with existing parent directories
When the parent directory exists and has a different default context to the final directory, the context was incorrectly left as that of the parent directory. * src/mkdir.c (process_dir): Because defaultcon() is called for existing ancestors (as it must be to avoid races), then we must unconditionally call restorecon() on the last component due to the already documented caveat with make_dir_parents(). Alternatively you could temp disable o->set_security_context around make_dir_parents(), but that would be subject to races. * tests (tests/mkdir/restorecon.sh): Add a TODO for improvement. Reference mknod and mkfifo with print_ver_. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/20616
