This fixes a regression in mediation of getattr when old policy built
under an older ABI is loaded and mapped to internal permissions.
The regression does not occur for all getattr permission requests,
only appearing if state zero is the final state in the permission
lookup. This is because despite the first state (index 0) being
guaranteed to not have permissions in both newer and older permission
formats, it may have to carry permissions that were not mediated as
part of an older policy. These backward compat permissions are
mapped here to avoid special casing the mediation code paths.
Since the mapping code already takes into account backwards compat
permission from older formats it can be applied to state 0 to fix
the regression.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
