Why expose __security_delete_hooks in lsm_hooks.h? Given SELinux is
the only consumer, and shouldn't be using it much longer, I think it
makes sense to let it stay part of the SELinux hooks.c.

Why put this in the mutex? It could hold the mutex for a very long
time if a bunch of long(er)-running callbacks are in place.

Can't this happen in the macro to setup LSM_INFO?

What case is it okay if try_module_get fails? Won't this return
-EINVAL on built-in modules because lsm->owner is NULL?
