Oh, right, I completely overlooked the file attachment. Sorry! It seems your CONFIG_LSM is not set correctly. It is missing "selinux" and the order seems wrong, but since you have most of the listed modules disabled, you can set it to just: CONFIG_LSM="integrity,selinux" Then the kernel should boot with SELinux enabled.
