[PATCH security-next v4 16/32] LSM: Prepare for arbitrary LSM enabling

[Kees Cook]

Before now, all the LSMs that did not specify an "enable" variable in their
struct lsm_info were considered enabled by default. This prepares to make
LSM enabling more explicit. For all LSMs without an explicit "enable"
variable, a hard-coded storage location is chosen, and all LSMs without
an external "enable" state have their state explicitly set to "enabled".

This code appears more complex than it needs to be (comma-separated
list parsing and "set" function parameter) because its use will be
expanded on in the following patches to provide more explicit enabling.
