See the discussion here:
https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/20200824113015.1375857-1-omosnace@redhat.com/T/#t

In order for this to be safe, you need to ensure that all callers of
security_read_policy_kernel() have taken fsi->mutex in selinuxfs and
any use of security_read_policy_len() occurs while holding the mutex.
Otherwise, the length can change between security_read_policy_len()
and security_read_selinux_policy() if policy is reloaded.
