I actually think I'd prefer there be no macro wrapping
static_branch_maybe(), just for reading it more easily. i.e. people
reading this code are going to expect the static_branch/static_call code
patterns, and seeing "security_hook_active" only slows them down in
understanding it. I don't think it's _that_ ugly to have it all typed
out. e.g.:

	if (static_branch_maybe(CONFIG_SECURITY_HOOK_LIKELY,		     \
				&SECURITY_HOOK_ACTIVE_KEY(HOOK, NUM)) {	     \
  		R = static_call(LSM_STATIC_CALL(HOOK, NUM))(__VA_ARGS__);    \
  		if (R != 0)						     \
  			goto LABEL;					     \
