Merge branch 'next-general' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull misc security layer update from James Morris: "This is the remaining 'general' change in the security tree for v4.14, following the direct merging of SELinux (+ TOMOYO), AppArmor, and seccomp. That's everything now for the security tree except IMA, which will follow shortly (I've been traveling for the past week with patchy internet)" * 'next-general' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: security: fix description of values returned by cap_inode_need_killpriv
