@lctx.id is initialized to LSM_ID_UNDEF in the declaration. In the
non-LSM_FLAG_SINGLE case the lsmctx.id != LSM_ID_UNDEF test will always
fail, thus avoiding the continue. It is only necessary to do the
copy_struct_from_user() call in the LSM_FLAG_SINGLE case.

Yes.

Yes. See patch 11/11.

Requiring a pointless flag seems like an API no-no to me.
