selinux: stop passing selinux_state pointers and their offspring
Linus observed that the pervasive passing of selinux_state pointers introduced by me in commit aa8e712c ("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.
