Subject: [PATCH security-next v4 21/32] LSM: Finalize centralized LSM enabling logic

Prior to this patch, default "enable" behavior was unchanged: SELinux
and AppArmor were controlled separately from the centralized control
defined by CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE and "lsm.enable=...". This changes the
logic to give all control over to the central logic.

Instead of allowing SELinux and AppArmor to override the central LSM
enabling logic, by having separate CONFIG and boot parameters, this
forces all "enable" variables to disabled, then enables any listed in
the CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE and "lsm.enable=..." settings, and finally disables
any listed in "lsm.disable=...".
