kernel: selinux: rules: Fix illegal RCU lock usage in apply_kernelsu_rules() (tiann#2646)

When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled, it
prints the following splat in dmesg during post boot:

This is because apply_kernelsu_rules() uses rcu_read_lock() to protect
SELinux policy modifications. However, cond_resched() from
hashtab_insert() at security/selinux/ss/hashtab.c is internally called
and it sleeps which is illegal under an RCU read-side critical section.

While replacing it with a spinlock would suppress the warning, this is
fundamentally incorrect because sleeping is illegal while holding a
spinlock and spinlock would turn off preemption which isn't an ideal
solution since it intentionally turns off rescheduling, and can lead to
deadlocks.

Instead, replace the RCU lock with a mutex lock. Mutex lock allows
sleeping when necessary, which is appropriate here because
apply_kernelsu_rules() runs in process context, not in atomic or
interrupt context. As apply_kernelsu_rules() is invoked only once during
post boot (SYSTEM_RUNNING), the mutex lock does not introduce any major
runtime performance regression and provides correct synchronization.
