[PATCH v3 1/1] security: Add CONFIG_LSM_AUTO to handle default LSM stack ordering

[Mickaël Salaün]

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic at linux.microsoft.com>

Add a new option CONFIG_LSM_AUTO to enable users to delegate default LSM
stacking order to kernel developers.  This enable to keep a consistent
order of enabled LSM when changing the LSM selection, especially when a
new LSM is added to the kernel.

CONFIG_LSM depends on !CONFIG_LSM_AUTO, which is backward compatible and
gives the opportunity to users to select CONFIG_LSM_AUTO with a make
oldconfig.

CONFIG_LSM and CONFIG_LSM_AUTO depend on CONFIG_SECURITY, which makes
sense because an LSM depends on the security framework.

Changes since v2:
* Revamp without virtual dependencies but a new option to automatically
  enable all selected LSMs.

Changes since v1:
* Add CONFIG_SECURITY as a dependency of CONFIG_LSM.  This prevent an
  error when building without any LSMs.
