Steven would be better at answering this then me.  But restorecon is
looking at the what matchpathcon tells it and it is tmpfs_t, but there
is actually a tmpfs_t file system moujnted here.  So we probably could
change the file context of the /dev/shm to tmpfs_t to stop restorecon
from trying to change it.
