Load the SELinux policy after switch_root. This fixes

the bootup process with recent kernels, as it was
getting stuck on Permission Denied errors, due to the
early SELinux policy load.

Thanks to Laszlo Gombos for reviewing this patch and
suggesting to obsolete the SELinux load policy module
instead of removing it completely.
