[RFC PATCH 1/3] Documentation/security: Update LSM security hook text

This patch series updates the LSM hook text defined in the comments
section of inlcude/linux/lsm_hooks.h.

This enables the hook functions to be rendered in kernel_docs html or
pdf format.

Note that no text has been changed in lsm_hooks.h, only formatting
to render the text.
