4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira mauricfo@linux.vnet.ibm.com
commit e7347a86830f38dc3e40c8f7e28c04412b12a2e7 upstream.
This moves the definition of the default security feature flags (i.e., enabled by default) closer to the security feature flags.
This can be used to restore current flags to the default flags.
