Subject: [PATCH security-next v3 26/29] LSM: Introduce enum lsm_order

In preparation for distinguishing the "capability" LSM from other LSMs,
it must be ordered first. This introduces LSM_ORDER_MUTABLE for the
general LSMs, LSM_ORDER_FIRST for capabilities, and LSM_ORDER_LAST for
anything that must run last (e.g. Landlock may use this in the future).
