Subject: [PATCH] Moved module init-functions into the module.


This commit moves the call to initialize the LSM modules inline
into the LSM-files themselves.

This removes the need to hunt around for the setup, which was
something that bit me when I wrote my own (unrelated) LSM.

Keeping LSM code in one place, including the setup of the
hooks seems like a sane choice.
