I see that the policy files in securityfs, such as new_policy, are
checking for CAP_MAC_ADMIN but there's no check here for CAP_MAC_ADMIN
when switching the active policy. I think we should enforce that cap
here, too.

Thinking about it some more, I find it a little odd that we're spreading
the files necessary to update a policy across both procfs (sysctl) and
securityfs. It looks like procfs will have different semantics than
securityfs after looking at proc_sys_permission(). I suggest moving
strict_parse and active_policy under securityfs for a unified experience
and common location when updating policy.
