Based on my testing so far, even with just moving the array under
struct selinux_policy, the RCU accessing still brings a significant
overhead (relative to the whole syscalls it is probably negligible,
but relative to the rest of the simpler hooks it is about 30%), so I
don't think it is necessary to adapt other patches to it yet. It will
be my responsibility to adapt to the newly added code when/if I rebase
and respin my patch.
