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.
