SELINUX: Call setuid(0)/setgid(0) to also set the real IDs to root
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/2564 libselinux uses many access(2) calls and access() uses the real UID, not the effective UID for the check. Therefore, the setuid selinux_child, which only has effective UID of root would fail the check. Reviewed-by: Michal Židek <mzidek@redhat.com>
