The only user is SELinux, which is hereby converted to check the disabled flag in each hook instead of removing the hooks from the list. The __lsm_ro_after_init macro is now removed and replaced with __ro_after_init directly. This fixes a race condition in SELinux runtime disable, which was introduced with the switch to hook lists in b1d9e6b0646d ("LSM: Switch to lists of hooks").Not opposed (naturally, since I suggested it) but my impression from the earlier thread was that Paul preferred the less invasive approach of your original patch (just reordering the hooks) as a short term fix with an eye toward full removal of disable support in the not-too-distant future.Unless we are seeing wide spread breakages (I don't think we are), or we decide we can never remove the runtime disable, I still prefer the hook-shuffle over the changes proposed in this patchset.
Note that the first patch is a necessary and correct cleanup regardless of this one.
