    security: Fix the default value of fs_context_parse_param hook
    
    security_fs_context_parse_param is called by vfs_parse_fs_param and
    a succussful return value (i.e 0) implies that a parameter will be
    consumed by the LSM framework. This stops all further parsing of the
    parmeter by VFS. Furthermore, if an LSM hook returns a success, the
    remaining LSM hooks are not invoked for the parameter.
    
    The current default behavior of returning success means that all the
    parameters are expected to be parsed by the LSM hook and none of them
    end up being populated by vfs in fs_context
    
    This was noticed when lsm=bpf is supplied on the command line before any
    other LSM. As the bpf lsm uses this default value to implement a default
    hook, this resulted in a failure to parse any fs_context parameters and
    a failure to mount the root filesystem.
