Convert the policy read-write lock to RCU. This is significantly simplified by the earlier work to encapsulate the policy data structures and refactor the policy load and boolean setting logic. Move the latest_granting sequence number into the selinux_policy structure so that it can be updated atomically with the policy. Since removing the policy rwlock and moving latest_granting reduces the selinux_ss structure to nothing more than a wrapper around the selinux_policy pointer, get rid of the extra layer of indirection. At present this change merely passes a hardcoded 1 to rcu_dereference_check() in the cases where we know we do not need to take rcu_read_lock(), with the preceding comment explaining why. Alternatively we could pass fsi->mutex down from selinuxfs and apply a lockdep check on it instead. Based in part on earlier attempts to convert the policy rwlock to RCU by Kaigai Kohei [1] and by Peter Enderborg [2].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
