Re: [PATCH v5 3/8] proc: Use lsmids instead of lsm names for attrs

Use the LSM ID number instead of the LSM name to identify which
security module's attibute data should be shown in /proc/self/attr.
The security_[gs]etprocattr() functions have been changed to expect
the LSM ID. The change from a string comparison to an integer comparison
in these functions will provide a minor performance improvement.

See the discussion in patch 1/8, we should use a macro instead of a 0
here (although the exact macro definition is very much up for
discussion):

  ATTR(LSM_ID_UNDEF, "current", 0666),
