Hi Andrii,

Thanks for sending an email about this, many maintainers don't
remember to CC the LSM list when making changes like this and I really
appreciate it when people do, so thank you for that (even if it is a
teeny bit late <g>).  To be honest, I saw this patch back on the 14th
as I've got some tools which watch for LSM/security related commits
hitting linux-next or Linus' tree that don't originate from one of the
LSM trees and I thought it looked okay, my ACK is below.
