Re: [PATCH v7 05/11] LSM: Create lsm_list_modules system call

Create a system call to report the list of Linux Security Modules
that are active on the system. The list is provided as an array
of LSM ID numbers.

The calling application can use this list determine what LSM
specific actions it might take. That might include chosing an
output format, determining required privilege or bypassing
security module specific behavior.

In other patches in this patchset you use 'if (flags != 0)'; I don't
care too much which approach you take, but please be consistent.

Actually, I guess you might as well just go with 'if (flags)' since
I'm pretty sure someone later down the line will end up wasting
reviewer time by changing '(flags != 0)' into '(flags)' ...
