MAC/do: find_conf(): Turn an MPASS() into a KASSERT()
Turn the pre-existing comment into an assertion message, with an update
following the introduction of the "executable paths" feature.
Explain in a comment why this situation cannot happen.
Without INVARIANTS, such a situation would cause an immediate panic()
(NULL is dereferenced in the next iteration of the loop), so leave the
check under INVARIANTS only.
