SELinux: drop load_mutex in security_load_policy
We used to protect against races of policy load in security_load_policy by using the load_mutex. Since then we have added a new mutex, sel_mutex, in sel_write_load() which is always held across all calls to security_load_policy we are covered and can safely just drop this one.
