This looks like too many files are getting touched. If it got added to
security.h, very few of the above .c files will need it explicitly
added (maybe none). You can test future versions of this change with an
allmodconfig build and make sure you have a matching .o for each .c
file that calls kernel_read_file(). :)

But otherwise, sure, seems good.
