[PATCH 0/2] LSM: Drop security_delete_hooks()

This is a third iteration of the attempt to fix a race condition in
SELinux runtime disable. [1] [2]

This version takes the approach of removing the security_delete_hooks()
function (and CONFIG_SECURITY_WRITABLE_HOOKS) and just returning from
the hooks early when SELinux has been disabled on runtime. Note that the
runtime disable functionality is being deprecated and this is only a
temporary solution.

The first patch is an SMP semantics cleanup in SELinux; the second one
builds on top of it and does the actual conversion.

Tested on Fedora Rawhide by running selinux-testsuite with SELinux
enabled + boot tested with SELINUX=disabled. Also compile-tested with
all LSMs enabled in config.
