When these macros existed solely inside of security/device_cgroup.c,
such naming was probably fine.

But once you move them into a global header file, we have to take
global namespace issues into consideration.

I would therefore like to ask that you give some kind of appropriate
prefix to the names of these macros, in order to make them more global
namespace friendly.

Thank you.
