Subject: [PATCH] Moved module init-functions into the module.


This commit moves the call to initialize the LSM modules inline
into the LSM-files themselves.

This removes the need to hunt around for the setup, which was
something that bit me when I wrote my own (unrelated) LSM.

Keeping LSM code in one place, including the setup of the
hooks seems like a sane choice.

Steve,
Seems you moved the initialization of security module to
late_initcall stage, that is not right.

Functions defined with late_initcall() macro will be done pretty
late than security_init().

For security modules, you should use security_initcall() macro to define
the init functions.

Thanks for the feedback.

Literally just a change like this?

-late_initcall(yama_add_hooks);
+security_initcall(yama_add_hooks);

I'll submit v2 with that shortly, thanks.
