SELinux has disabled/permissive/enforcing modes.
And syzbot is testing SELinux in permissive mode, isn't it?

TOMOYO has disabled/learning/permissive/enforcing modes.
And syzbot will test TOMOYO in learning mode.

This patch is required for telling TOMOYO to run in learning mode, by
loading minimal policy, without asking userspace to run policy loader.
This patch is easier than asking syzbot users to update their filesystem
images in order to embed policy loader and minimal policy into their
filesystem images.

TOMOYO is already detecting no-policy situation. TOMOYO is calling panic()
due to "memory allocation failure before loading minimal policy".

This patch avoids panic() by automatically loading minimal policy which is
embedded into the kernel.
