[PATCH 0/2] Change LSM registration to work with persistent struct

[Sargun Dhillon]

This patchset breaks out the first patch from my patchset a while ago, which
started introducing external LSMs. One of the ideas was to make the management
of which LSMs are loaded a bit simpler. In the process, I discovered the
following bug:
root at ubuntu:~# dmesg |grep SELinux
[    0.044035] SELinux:  Initializing.
[    0.052063] SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode
[    3.625348] SELinux:  Registering netfilter hooks
root at ubuntu:~# cat /sys/kernel/security/lsm;echo
capability,yama,loadpin,selinux
root at ubuntu:~# echo 1 > /sys/fs/selinux/disable
root at ubuntu:~# dmesg |grep SELinux
[    0.044035] SELinux:  Initializing.
[    0.052063] SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode
[    3.625348] SELinux:  Registering netfilter hooks
[  189.230174] SELinux:  Disabled at runtime.
[  189.230398] SELinux:  Unregistering netfilter hooks
root at ubuntu:~# cat /sys/kernel/security/lsm;echo
capability,yama,loadpin,selinux

After this fix, it makes it so that it will be properly
removed, a la:
root at ubuntu:~# dmesg |grep SELinux
[    0.040169] SELinux:  Initializing.
[    0.048067] SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode
[    3.023873] SELinux:  Registering netfilter hooks
root at ubuntu:~# cat /sys/kernel/security/lsm;echo
capability,yama,loadpin,selinux
root at ubuntu:~# echo 1 > /sys/fs/selinux/disable
root at ubuntu:~# dmesg |grep SELinux
[    0.040169] SELinux:  Initializing.
[    0.048067] SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode
[    3.023873] SELinux:  Registering netfilter hooks
[  136.059277] SELinux:  Disabled at runtime.
[  136.059505] SELinux:  Unregistering netfilter hooks
root at ubuntu:~# cat /sys/kernel/security/lsm;echo
capability,yama,loadpin

This is pretty low-risk, but introduces two minor conflicts to:
[01/23] procfs: add smack subdir to attrs
[21/23] LSM: Multiple concurrent major security modules
