kernel: selinux: rules: Remove unnecessary RCU dereference in get_policydb()

Browse Source 
get_policydb() uses rcu_dereference() to read pointers to selinux_state.policy.
But in the SELinux implementation, these pointers are assigned once during
initialization and never changed with rcu_assign_pointer(), rendering the
rcu_dereference() call in get_policydb() completely useless. This just adds
unwanted overhead and implies concurrency pattern that is not even present in
the kernel.

Therefore, read the pointers directly since it's safe.

* selinux_state.ss needs more context.
