Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the security tree with the vfs tree

Hi James,

Today's linux-next merge of the security tree got a conflict in
include/linux/security.h and security/security.c between commits
37882db0546c ("SECURITY: remove nameidata arg from inode_follow_link")
and bda0be7ad994 ("security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk aware")
from the vfs tree and commits 3c4ed7bdf599 ("LSM: Split security.h")
and 346033a28fb1 ("LSM: Remove a comment from security.h") from the
security tree.

I fixed it up (see below, plus I added the following merge fix patch)
and can carry the fix as necessary (no action is required).
