[PATCH] security: clarify task_prctl hook documentation

[Bill Roberts]

The task_prctl hook comment incorrectly described the hook as checking
whether a prctl operation is allowed. In reality, the hook exists for
LSMs to handle LSM-specific prctl operations.

Update the function description and kernel-doc comment to reflect the
actual behavior. The old wording appears to have been copied from other
permission-check hooks despite differing semantics.
