tomoyo: revert CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_LKM support
This patch reverts two TOMOYO patches that were merged into Linus' tree during the v6.12 merge window: 8b985bbf ("tomoyo: allow building as a loadable LSM module") 268225a1 ("tomoyo: preparation step for building as a loadable LSM module") Together these two patches introduced the CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_LKM Kconfig build option which enabled a TOMOYO specific dynamic LSM loading mechanism (see the original commits for more details). Unfortunately, this approach was widely rejected by the LSM community as well as some members of the general kernel community. Objections included concerns over setting a bad precedent regarding individual LSMs managing their LSM callback registrations as well as general kernel symbol exporting practices. With little to no support for the CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_LKM approach outside of Tetsuo, and multiple objections, we need to revert these changes.
