James Morris 20510f2f4e security: Convert LSM into a static interface
Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security
module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the
overall security architecture.

Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API
abuse.

Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified
at boot.

The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed.

In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM.  The modular interface
is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure.  It is used only by out-of-tree
modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and
dangerous, e.g.  silently re-vectoring SELinux.

* nice starting point for people to play with, and learn the LSM
* interface.
*
* If you want to turn this into something with a semblance of security,
