[PATCH security-next v3 18/29] LSM: Introduce lsm.enable= and lsm.disable=

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

This introduces the "lsm.enable=..." and "lsm.disable=..." boot parameters
which each can contain a comma-separated list of LSMs to enable or
disable, respectively. The string "all" matches all LSMs.

This has very similar functionality to the existing per-LSM enable
handling ("apparmor.enabled=...", etc), but provides a centralized
place to perform the changes. These parameters take precedent over any
LSM-specific boot parameters.

Disabling an LSM means it will not be considered when performing
initializations. Enabling an LSM means either undoing a previous
LSM-specific boot parameter disabling or a undoing a default-disabled
CONFIG setting.

For example: "lsm.disable=apparmor apparmor.enabled=1" will result in
AppArmor being disabled. "selinux.enabled=0 lsm.enable=selinux" will
result in SELinux being enabled.
