It's actually in security/selinux/hooks.c::selinux_disable() and gets

Stephen Smalley had done a fix yesterday, basically adding
selinux_enabled = 0;
after
selinux_disabled = 1;

and nobody had caught that while this stuff was sitting in -mm ;-/

The only question I have about that patch: what would happen if we do not
have CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM? In that case selinux_enabled is
defined to 1, so...
