init.te: delete kernel load policy support
Remove the ability to dynamically update SELinux policy on the device. 1) This functionality has never been used, so we have no idea if it works or not. 2) If system_server is compromised, this functionality allows a complete bypass of the SELinux policy on the device. In particular, an attacker can force a regression of the following patch * https://android-review.googlesource.com/138510 see also https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=181826 3) Dynamic policy update can be used to bypass neverallow protections enforced in CTS, by pushing a policy to the device after certification. Such an updated policy could bring the device out of compliance or deliberately introduce security weaknesses.
