[PATCH v2 1/2] 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 if all LSMs return a positive value
__vm_enough_memory() will be called with cap_sys_admin set. If at least one
LSM returns 0 or negative, it will be called with cap_sys_admin cleared.
