* Why the kernel remove some LSM related functions?

Besides, the kernel has completely removed the functions of mod_reg_security() and mod_unreg_security(), which makes me unable to stack the security module. The only approach is to disable the active security module like SELinux and register mine. Here, I want to know why the kernel did so.
