[PATCH] selinux: Remove load size limit

[PATCH] selinux: Remove load size limit

[zhanglin]

Load size was limited to 64MB, this was legacy limitation due to vmalloc()
which was removed a while ago.

Limiting load size to 64MB is both pointless and affects real world use
cases.

I just merged this into selinux/next (thank you!), but I removed the
last sentence in the description that mentioned "real world use cases"
since that appears to be a cut-n-paste artifact and not a reflection
of what we are currently seeing from users.
