This LSM documentation is not used during the documentation build.
At least I can't find it in the resulting build directory and at
the online documentation on the kernel. Most of the fixes are pretty
obvious and can be checked by comparing an lsm hook declaration and
its description in the LSM comment from lsm_hooks.h I tried to be
exhaustive in the commits description and in every case to reference
the original commit where the interface was changed without
documentation update.
