Subject: Re: [PATCH 4/5] Make LSM Writable Hooks a command line option

No such interface is needed. Just an API for applying set_memory_rw()
and set_memory_ro() on LSM hooks is enough.

security_add_hooks() can call set_memory_rw() before adding hooks and
call set_memory_ro() after adding hooks. Ditto for security_delete_hooks()
for SELinux's unregistration.
