My plan is to create a __ro_after_init "LSM State" structure to hold
various things that are needed after init time. All of the lsm_info
structures are __initdata, so they can't be retained after init
(currently). As far as I can see, there are already a few things that
are retained after init:

LSM name (currently a pointer in every hook)
enabled state (technically optional, currently known internally to each LSM)
blob size details (currently known internally to each LSM)

and now we'll be adding the "slot". So I was thinking something like:

struct lsm_state {
	const char *name;
	int enabled;
	struct blob_sizes lbs;
	int slot;
};

And then change the hooks to each carry a pointer to the lsm_state
(instead of a name pointer). Also I think it'd be cleanest to define
and export the lsm_state instance it via the DEFINE_LSM macro, possibly
instead of the existing blob_size pointer. It's possible that lsm_info
should just gain some fields and no longer be __initdata, too. We'll
see!
