Both kernel_read_file_from_fd() and kernel_read_file() are exported
because they have users, however kernel_read_file() only has security
stuff as a user. Do we want to get rid of the lsm hook for it?
I also have some non-posted patches which tucks away these kernel_read*()
exports under a symbol namespace, to avoid wide-spread use / abuse on
areas in the kernel, so I'd be happy to take this on if we want to
remove it export / lsm hook as part of my series. I did this as there
is another series of patches for a new driver which extend these family
of functions with a now pread() variant....
