Introduce LSM_ORDER_LAST, to satisfy the requirement of LSMs willing to be
the last, e.g. the 'integrity' LSM, without changing the kernel command
line or configuration.
Please reframe this as a bug fix for 79f7865d844c ("LSM: Introduce
"lsm=" for boottime LSM selection") and upstream it first, with
'integrity' as the last LSM.   The original bug fix commit 92063f3ca73a
("integrity: double check iint_cache was initialized") could then be
removed.
Ok, I should complete the patch by checking the cache initialization in
iint.c.

As for LSM_ORDER_FIRST, LSMs with LSM_ORDER_LAST are always enabled and put
at the end of the LSM list in no particular order.
^Similar to LSM_ORDER_FIRST ...

And remove "in no particular order".
The reason for this is that I originally thought that the relative
order of LSMs specified in the kernel configuration or the command line
was respected (if more than one LSM specifies LSM_ORDER_LAST). In fact
not. To do this, we would have to parse the LSM string again, as it is
done for LSM_ORDER_MUTABLE LSMs.
IMA and EVM are only configurable if 'integrity' is enabled.  Similar
to how LSM_ORDER_FIRST is reserved for capabilities, LSM_ORDER_LAST
should be reserved for integrity (LSMs), if it is configured, for the
reason as described in the "[PATCH 24/28] ima: Move to LSM
infrastructure" patch description.
Yes, it is just that nothing prevents to have multiple LSMs with order
LSM_ORDER_LAST. I guess we will enforce that it is only one by
reviewing the code.

Thanks
