Bug Description

In the v4.12 kernel, CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE (which allows disabling selinux after boot) will conflict with read-only LSM structures. Since Ubuntu is primarily using AppArmor for its LSM, and SELinux is disabled by default, it makes sense to drop this feature in favor of the protections offered by __ro_after_init markings on the LSM structures.
