[RFC PATCH v2 3/8] security/vbs: add platform probe and backend registration

[Sriram Nambakam]

Add a single rootfs_initcall that walks a probe table and registers the
first backend whose detect() succeeds.  The table currently holds only the
KVM software-planes entry; when that backend is not configured a local stub
keeps the probe self-contained and buildable.

Registration only records the backend at this stage.
