smack: fix bug: SMACK64TRANSMUTE set on non-directory

Browse Source 
When a new file system object is created
and the conditions for label transmutation are met,
the SMACK64TRANSMUTE extended attribute is set
on the object regardless of its type:
file, pipe, socket, symlink, or directory.

However,
SMACK64TRANSMUTE may only be set on directories.

This bug is a combined effect of the commits [1] and [2]
which both transfer functionality
from smack_d_instantiate() to smack_inode_init_security(),
but only in part.

Commit [1] set blank  SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types.
Commit [2] set "TRUE" SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types.
