the refcounting under the following justifications: 1. Managing the refcounts by calling sidput() and sidget() as appropriate is a difficult and bug-prone task for users of the library. 2. The userspace AVC doesn't currently make use of the refcounts to reclaim unused SID's unless avc_cleanup() is explicitly called. 3. The kernel itself no longer uses refcounting for it's own SID's. The implication of this change is that SID's (basically malloc'ed copies of security contexts) will persist in the AVC's SID table until the next call to avc_destroy(). This presents the potential for increased memory usage, but in practice I don't believe this will be an issue. ABI compatibility is preserved: the avc_cleanup(), sidput(), and sidget() calls are changed to no-ops.
