I'm not a fan of the duplication here.  If we must have a new LSM hook
for this, can we at least have it call
selinux_kernel_module_from_file() so we have all the kernel module
loading logic/controls in one function?  Yes, I understand there are
differences between init_module() and finit_module() but I like
handling them both in one function as we do today.
