Description of problem:
Hi, I created a swap file using:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/scratch/swap ...

Then I added to /etc/fstab:

/scratch/swap           none                    swap    defaults        0 0

This is a pretty standard way to do swap files, documented in a lot of places.  The default policy prevents this from working:

audit(1123011750.821:2): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=1331 comm="swapon" name="swap" dev=dm-3 ino=1331 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsadm_t tcontext=root:object_r:file_t tclass=file

I suggest that we make fsadm_t be unconfined_domain() or equivalent (perhaps just allow it to read all file types) to keep compatibility here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-1.25.3-10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create swap file
2. Add to fstab
3. swapon -a
