You should change the title to "Wire UFFD up to secure anon inodes".
This code should support any LSM that wants to control anon inodes.
If it doesn't, it isn't correct.

All references to SELinux behavior (i.e. assigning a "security context")
should be restricted to the SELinux specific bits of the patch set. You
should be describing how any LSM can use this, not just the LSM you've
targeted.
