Don't worry, I'll fix that in the merge.
There is one more nitpick below, but I think this looks good. I'll
give this a few days to see if John can ACK the AppArmor bits, but if
we don't hear from him by mid-week I'll plan to merge this.
Thanks!

Don't resubmit the patch just for this, I'll fix it during the merge,
but generally nice to make sure the wrapped lines are aligned with the
previous line; look at the security_cap_get() declaration (below) in
this patch to see an example.
