From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>

Remove the sole memory allocation during a common file label lookup,
e.g. requested by restorecon(8)/setfiles(8), by using a local stack
buffer for a potential lookup result.

Additional minor optimization tweaks.

+ * lookup_check_node() - Try to find a file context definition in the given node or parents.
+ * @node:      The deepest specification node to match against. Parent nodes are successively
+ *             searched on no match or when finding all matches.
+ * @key:       The absolute file path to look up.
+ * @file_kind: The kind of the file to look up (translated from file type into LABEL_FILE_KIND_*).
+ * @partial:   Whether to partially match the given file path or completely.
+ * @find_all:  Whether to find all file context definitions or just the most specific.
+ * @buf:       A pre-allocated buffer for a potential result to avoid allocating it on the heap or
+ *             NULL. Mututal exclusive with @find_all.
+ *
+ * Return: A pointer to a file context definition if a match was found. If @find_all was specified
+ *         its a linked list of all results. If @buf was specified it is returned on a match found.
+ *         NULL is returned in case of no match found.
