If SELINUXTYPE is set to some value other than targeted then we look
for a directory /etc/selinux/<SELINUXTYPE> which does not exist.
However this should not cause a fatal error.  Using setfiles to do the
relabelling immediately is a nice-to-have, but we can fallback to
using autorelabel if we're unable to achieve it.

This is generally OK for me, however I'd create a custom exception to
signal the "cannot relabel using selinux_relabel" instead of reusing
Failure. This way we can catch this specific exception, and avoid
catching potential Failure issues in the future.

I think we need to do a different approach than this patch.

The biggest thing is that currently we check only SELINUXTYPE for the
actual policy, however we do not check SELINUX in case SELinux is in
enforcing mode at all.

IMHO we rather need to read /etc/selinux/<SELINUX> first:
- if enforcing, go ahead with the current relabeling: check SELINUXTYPE,
  get the policy path, etc; if set like this, then most probably the
  SELINUXTYPE points to a valid policy, otherwise the guest would not
  even boot
- if permissive or disabled, do not perform any relabeling, including
  touching /.autorelabel; this is because SELinux was disabled, so
  attempting any relabeling might result in failures
