Fix aufs calling of security_path_mknod
BugLink: http://launchpad.net/bugs/724456
The security_path_mknod hook requires an encoded 'dev' for its 'dev' paramet
but aufs is calling security_path_mknod with a 'dev' that was already
converted by 'new_decode_dev(dev)'. However security_path_mknod and its
consumer TOMOYO is expecting 'dev' rather than 'new_decode_dev(dev)'.
This will result in TOMOYO doing new_decode_dev(new_decode_dev(dev))
(which is wrong) when security_path_mknod() is called from aufs' vfsub_mknod
