Subject: [PATCH 1/6] SELinux: change Kconfig to use select instead of depends

From: Eric Paris <eparis@...hat.com>

Changes the security/selinux/Kconfig to use select instead of depends
for most of the SELinux requirements.  This allows the SELinux option to
show up when people do a make config without already knowing they had to
enable audit and other non-obvious choices.  Added a depends on SECURITY
(which previously existed through SECURITY_NETWORK) so that SELinux
would not always show up, but would be easy and intuitive to find.
