selinux_inode_init_security() marks the isec as initialized before
checking if mount labeling is supported (SBLABEL_MNT). This was fine
until commit 9722955b5430 ("bpf: Add simple xattr support to bpffs"),
where genfscon bpffs mounts fail the SBLABEL_MNT check as expected (no
xattrs) and yet leave the isec->initialized. This breaks subsequent
calls to inode_doinit_with_dentry().
Do the SBLABEL_MNT check before the inode security is initialized.
