Really? The logic on "security=..." does not depend on LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR
LSMs being present in the CONFIG_LSM= list, for ordered_lsm_parse() does
(Step 1) Enable LSM_ORDER_FIRST module (i.e. capability).
(Step 2) Disable LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR modules which was not specified
by "security=" parameter when "security=" parameter was specified.
(Step 3) Enable modules specified by "lsm=" parameter (or CONFIG_LSM= settings
if "lsm=" parameter was not specified).
(Step 4) Enable up to one LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR module which was specified
by "security=" parameter when "security=" parameter was specified.
(Step 5) Disable all unused modules.
and (Step 4) will compensate for lack of that module in (Step 3).
