Allow kernel domain, not init domain, to set SELinux enforcing mode.
As per the discussion in: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/71184/ init sets the enforcing mode in its code prior to switching to the init domain via a setcon command in the init.rc file. Hence, the setenforce permission is checked while still running in the kernel domain. Further, as init has no reason to ever set the enforcing mode again, we do not need to allow setenforce to the init domain and this prevents reverting to permissive mode via an errant write by init later. We could technically dontaudit the kernel setenforce access instead since the first call to setenforce happens while still permissive (and thus we never need to allow it in policy) but we allow it to more accurately represent what is possible.
