[PATCH v2] Moved module init-functions into the module.

The module initialization code belongs in the module.
The LSM infrastructure should have an absolute minimum
of module specific information. I would rather see the
"minor" modules (yama, loadpin) changed to use the module
registration scheme used by the "major" modules, but that
will require a mechanism to ensure module ordering, and
we don't have that yet. No, don't do this.
Yeah, I agree: initialization order is important here and I don't want
to depend on the Makefile for this.
  I can appreciate that argument.  I did consider it myself,
 but decided that because the minor modules had such differing
 goals, and no real functional overlap, in practice that would
 mean that explicit ordering wasn't a strong requirement.

  If/when a better registration scheme becomes available then
 we'll all switch to using it, and that would be great.

  Thanks for the feedback.  I'll not tweak any further.

Steve
