    The first module that allocates a security blob for that particular kernel
    object.  Remember - the object header would be embedded in the larger
    structure used by the module, so we aren't talking about some separate
    object.  On allocation, each module would allocate its new object, set the
    module id, and then test kernel_obj->security to see if it is NULL.  If it
    is NULL, then the module would simply set kernel_obj->security to point to
    its object and leave the list empty.  If it is non-NULL, then the module
    would link its object into the list referenced by
    kernel_obj->security->list.
