Security: Add __init to register_security to disable load a security module on runtime

LSM framework doesn't allow to load a security module on runtime, it must be loaded on boot time.
but in security/security.c:
int register_security(struct security_operations *ops)
{
        ...
        if (security_ops != &default_security_ops)
                return -EAGAIN;
        ...
}
if security_ops == &default_security_ops, it can access to register a security module. If selinux is enabled,
other security modules can't register, but if selinux is disabled on boot time, the security_ops was set to
default_security_ops, LSM allows other kernel modules to use register_security() to register a not trust
security module. For example:

disable selinux on boot time(selinux=0).

        return 0;
