Current selinux policy can have over 3000 types.  The type_attr_map in
policy is an array sized by the number of types times sizeof(struct ebitmap)
(12 on x86_64).  Basic math tells us the array is going to be of length
3000 x 12 = 36,000 bytes.  The largest 'safe' allocation on a long running
system is 16k.  Most of the time a 32k allocation will work.  But on long
running systems a 64k allocation (what we need) can fail quite regularly.
In order to deal with this I am converting the type_attr_map to use
flex_arrays.  Let the library code deal with breaking this into PAGE_SIZE
pieces.

-v2
rework some of the if(!obj) BUG() to be BUG_ON(!obj)
drop flex_array_put() calls and just use a _get() object directly

-v3
make apply to James' tree (drop the policydb_write changes)
