If anything, it's rather security_past_create_without_open(), and
I really wonder where does the equivalent of those actions happen
if you do close(open("foo", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0777)) instead of
mknod("foo", 0777, 0).  I mean, you can substitute the former
for the latter, so anything that must be done by the hook in
mknod(2) would better be covered at some point in hooks within
open(2)...  Some explanation of the relationship between those
would be nice.
