I'm not happy with LSMID_ENTRIES. This is a way towards forever forbidding LKM-based LSMs.

I'm fine with using UAPI-visible constants for switching /proc/ files.
But TOMOYO does not need such constant because TOMOYO does not use /proc/ files.

Also, lsm_self_attr() will be limited for LSM modules which use /proc/ files, and
therefore I think prctl() will be already there.
