In general I think a lot of these changes are a good improvement, thank
you very much for the time and effort you've spent on this. However,
I'm not in favor of passing the new hook parameter as a way of reducing
the number of states represented by the security_inode_killpriv() return
value. This particular hook may need to remain as one of the odd special
cases.
