[PATCH 16/18] LSM: Allow arbitrary LSM ordering

[Kees Cook]

To prepare for having a third type of LSM ("shared blob"), this implements
dynamic handling of LSM ordering. The visible change here is that the
"security=" boot commandline is now a comma-separated ordered list of
all LSMs, not just the single "exclusive" LSM. This means that the
"minor" LSMs can now be disabled at boot time by omitting them from the
commandline. Additionally LSM ordering becomes entirely mutable for LSMs
with LSM_ORDER_MUTABLE ("capability" is not mutable and is always enabled
first).
