Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] lsm: introduce security_lsm_config_*_policy hooks

Define two new LSM hooks: security_lsm_config_self_policy and
security_lsm_config_system_policy and wire them into the corresponding
lsm_config_*_policy() syscalls so that LSMs can register a unified
interface for policy management. This initial, minimal implementation
only supports the LSM_POLICY_LOAD operation to limit changes.
