Linus observed that the pervasive passing of selinux_state pointers
introduced by me in commit aa8e712cee ("selinux: wrap global selinux
state") adds overhead and complexity without providing any
benefit. The original idea was to pave the way for SELinux namespaces
but those have not yet been implemented and there isn't currently
a concrete plan to do so. Remove the passing of the selinux_state
pointers, reverting to direct use of the single global selinux_state,
and likewise remove passing of child pointers like the selinux_avc.
The selinux_policy pointer remains as it is needed for atomic switching
of policies.
