* Update selinux.md to add a note on a possible required reboot for CentOS/RHEL systems

After installing the required packages, he noticed that the canal & coredns installation failed at some point:

Although I could not reproduce this issue in a Laboratory, the customer reported that he solved the issue by rebooting the server after installing the rke2-selinux rpm package and before performing the rke2 installation.
So he is suggesting updating this specific RKE2 documentation
https://docs.rke2.io/security/selinux
https://docs.rke2.io/install/methods#rpm
Adding a specific mention that a reboot of the server may be required after installing the rke2-selinux package, even if it doesn't apply to 100% of the cases - note that I was not able to reproduce this issue-

* Update docs/security/selinux.md
