[PATCH security-next v4 22/32] apparmor: Remove boot parameter

Since LSM enabling is now centralized with CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE and
"lsm.enable=...", this removes the LSM-specific enabling logic from
AppArmor, though it leaves the existing userspace API visibility into
/sys/module/apparmor/parameters/enabled.
