[Libguestfs] [libguestfs PATCH 2/2] daemon/selinux-relabel: tolerate relabeling errors

[Laszlo Ersek]

Option "-C" of setfiles(8) causes setfiles(8) to exit with status 1 rather
than status 255 if it encounters relabeling errors, but no other (fatal)
error. Pass "-C" to setfiles(8) in "selinux-relabel", because we don't
want the "selinux-relabel" API to fail if setfiles(8) only encounters
relabeling errors.

(NB even without "-C", setfiles(8) continues traversing the directory
tree(s) and relabeling files across relabeling errors, so this change is
specifically about the exit status.)
