Best laid plans of mice and men ...

It turns out the LSM hook macros are full of warnings-now-errors that
should likely be resolved before sending anything LSM related to
Linus.  I'll post v3 once I fix this, which may not be until tomorrow.

(To be clear, the warnings/errors aren't new to this patchset, I'm
likely just the first person to notice them.)
