[v2] [PATCH 1/1] XSELinux: When SELinux is enabled the xserver seg faults

Note: [v2] patch fixes indentation

This patch was created using xorg-server-1.12.0 source.

When using Fedora 17 with xorg-server-1.12.0 and SELinux is enabled
('setsebool xserver_object_manager on') the xserver will not load. The X
log file has a seg fault pointing to XACE/SELinux. Bug 50641 was raised
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50641).

The bug is caused by X calling XaceHook(XACE_DEVICE_ACCESS, client, ...)
with a device ID of '1' that is XIAllMasterDevices. It would also happen
if the device ID = 0 (XIAllDevices).

The only places currently seen calling with a device id=1 are:
GrabKey - in Xi/exevents.c and AddPassiveGrabToList - in dix/grabs.c
These start life in ProcXIPassiveGrabDevice (in Xi/xipassivegrab.c) that
has been called by XIGrabKeycode.

The patch has been tested using the other XI calls that would also impact
this: XIGrabTouchBegin, XIGrabButton, XIGrabFocusIn and XIGrabEnter with
and without the correct permissions (grab and freeze) with no problems.

Both possible classes have to be checked (x_keyboard and x_pointer) as it
is not known whether it is a pointer or keyboard as this info is not
available. To get this info would require a change to the
XaceHook(XACE_DEVICE_ACCESS, client, ..) call to pass an additional
parameter stating the actual devices (that would defeat the objective of
the XIAllMasterDevices and XIAllDevices dev ids).

Note that there are other devices apart from the keyboard and pointer, for
example on the test system: DeviceID: 9 is the Integrated_Webcam_1.3M. As
it is classed as a slave keyboard it is checked.
