Basically OK. One question to Al Viro.

Do you still refuse the idea of resolving dev_path argument before calling LSM hooks
(the proposal you NAKed at https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250709102410.GU1880847@ZenIV )
despite this series removes security_sb_mount() and security_move_mount() hooks?

I guess that we can avoid passing maybe-NULL dev_name if Al Viro can accept
resolving maybe-NULL dev_path argument before calling LSM hooks.
