I would not edit a bunch of files in order to relabel.

1). Boot with selinux=0 into runlevel 1
2). run fixfiles relabel and answer yes to clear the /tmp directory
3). Reboot the computer after fixfiles relabel is completed.


This should relabel the system. (The law book for SELinux)
After the relabeling, SELinux being enabled (The law enforcement 
officer) should protect the system by the hopefully properly labeled system.

If this does not relabel your system properly, something is missing on 
your system related to SELinux policy or functionality.
