[PATCH security-next v2 14/26] LSM: Lift LSM selection out of individual LSMs

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Sep 20 2018 - 12:24:17 EST


As a prerequisite to adjusting LSM selection logic in the future, this
moves the selection logic up out of the individual major LSMs, making
their init functions only run when actually enabled.
