[RFC][PATCH 1/4] lsm: Clarify documentation of vm_enough_memory hook

[Roberto Sassu]

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

include/linux/lsm_hooks.h reports the result of the LSM infrastructure to
the callers, not what LSMs should return to the LSM infrastructure.

Clarify that and add that returning 1 from the LSMs means calling
__vm_enough_memory() with cap_sys_admin set, 0 without.
