Bug 2531180

Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-userwork from 'read' accesses on the sock_file /proc/self/fd/8.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that systemd-userwork should be allowed read access on the 8 sock_file by default.
Then 
    You should report this as a bug.

    If you are certain this access is legitimate and not an intrusion attempt, you
    can generate a local policy module to allow it.
    Custom policy modules are not supported as they may weaken the system policy and expose the system to security vulnerabilities.
    
Do
# ausearch -c 'systemd-userwor' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemduserwor
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemduserwor.pp
