Subject: [PATCH v3 0/1] Automatic LSM stack ordering

Hi,

This patch series gives the opportunity to users to not manually
configure the list of LSM enabled at boot but instead always rely on the
up-to-date list of existing LSMs.  Indeed, CONFIG_LSM may never be
updated with a make oldconfig whereas users may select new LSMs over
time.  With this patch, when running make oldconfig, a new option
CONFIG_LSM_AUTO is pre-selected to delegate LSM ordering to the kernel
developers, according to the user configuration.

This third series replace the previous virtual dependencies with a new
option to automatically enable all selected LSMs.  This is cleaner,
simpler, and makes the transition more convenient.

This patch series can be applied on v5.11-7580-gea914b7ffbfd (or v5.11).
