[PATCH 4.19 v3 2/6] LSM: switch to blocking policy update notifiers

From: Janne Karhunen <janne.karhunen at gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 42df744c4166af6959eda2df1ee5cde744d4a1c3 ]

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.
