[PATCH 1/2] LSM: switch to blocking policy update notifiers

[Janne Karhunen]

Atomic policy updaters are not very useful as they cannot
usually perform the policy updates on their own. Since it
seems that there is no strict need for the atomicity,
switch to the blocking variant. While doing so, rename
the functions accordingly.
