[PATCH 4/4] security: generated security hook initialization based on lsm_hook_types.h

[Sargun Dhillon]

This replaces the old logic of casting the security hook heads struct to
an array, and then traversing it in order to initialize it. Instead,
it generates the code to set the security hook heads to null at start
time.
