[PATCH v1 7/8] LSM: Create lsm_module_list system call

Create a system call to report the list of Linux Security Modules
that are active on the system. The list is provided as an array
of LSM ID numbers.

The calling application can use this list determine what LSM
specific actions it might take. That might include chosing an
output format, determining required privilege or bypassing
security module specific behavior.
