2.6.24-rc2-rt1 build failure: mod_unreg_security

security/realcaps.c still uses mod_unreg_security and
unregister_security to try and unregister the realtime capabilities
from LSM. Those functions appear to have been removed from
security/security.c, so the build fails with:

security/realcap.c: In function ârealtime_exitâ:
security/realcap.c:129: error: implicit declaration of
function âmod_unreg_securityâ
security/realcap.c:133: error: implicit declaration of
function âunregister_securityâ
âmod_unreg_securityâ only exists in the one place and in the lsm.tmpl

I compared the security.c of 2.6.23.9-rt12 and it still has the two
missing functions. Was there a change in how features are unregistered
from LSM that was missed for the realcaps.c file perhaps?

I commented out the unreg calls to try and build, it completed, but the
realcap.ko had several undefined symbols.

Checking the config I see this is marked as obsolete, so maybe we don't
care all that much - but if it wasn't just removed, I suspect we still
want it to build?

Thanks,
