This isn't sufficient/correct. apparmor_initialized is only set after
apparmor has gone through and completed initialization. However if
apparmor is not selected as one of the LSMs to enable, then this check
won't stop apparmor_enabled from being set post boot.

However with the apparmor_enabled param being 0444 and the
apparmor_enabled_setup() fn handling boot cmdline do with even need
the set parameter fn?
