Subject: [PATCH security-next v2 15/26] LSM: Introduce lsm.enable= and lsm.disable=

This has identical functionality to the existing per-LSM enable handling,
but provides a centralized place to perform it. If multiple instances
of a parameter (either with the custom LSM-specific parameter or the
"lsm.{enable,disable}" parameter) for a specific LSM are on the boot
command line, the last one takes precedent.

Disabling an LSM means it will not be considered when performing
initializations. Enabling an LSM means either undoing a previous disabling
or a undoing a default-disabled CONFIG setting.

For example: "lsm.disable=apparmor apparmor.enabled=1" will leave
AppArmor enabled. "selinux.enabled=0 lsm.enable=selinux" will leave
SELinux enabled.
