Bug #8714: Changing SELinux contexts on symlinks requires the '-h' parameter in
chcon

There is a problem when trying to chance SELinux contexts through puppet. Looks
like puppet does not call **chcon** with the **-h** parameter.
# ls -ald /home/file/test
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 1 12:23 /home/file/test -> /mnt/file/test
# chcon -v -t user_home_t test
failed to change context of test to system_u:object_r:user_home_t
chcon: failed to change context of test to system_u:object_r:user_home_t:
Operation not supported
# chcon -v -h -t user_home_t test
context of /home/file/test changed to system_u:object_r:user_home_t
This results in puppet trying to change the SELinux contexts on every run
without success and without knowing that it actually failed.
