lsm: move the socket hook comments to security/security.c

This patch relocates the LSM hook function comments to the function
definitions, in keeping with the current kernel conventions.  This
should make the hook descriptions more easily discoverable and easier
to maintain.

While formatting changes have been done to better fit the kernel-doc
style, content changes have been kept to a minimum and limited to
text which was obviously incorrect and/or outdated.  It is expected
the future patches will improve the quality of the function header
comments.

 /**
  * union security_list_options - Linux Security Module hook function list
  *
- * Security hooks for socket operations.
- *
- * @socket_create:
- *	Check permissions prior to creating a new socket.
- *	@family contains the requested protocol family.
- *	@type contains the requested communications type.
- *	@protocol contains the requested protocol.
- *	@kern set to 1 if a kernel socket.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_post_create:
- *	This hook allows a module to update or allocate a per-socket security
- *	structure. Note that the security field was not added directly to the
- *	socket structure, but rather, the socket security information is stored
- *	in the associated inode.  Typically, the inode alloc_security hook will
- *	allocate and attach security information to
- *	SOCK_INODE(sock)->i_security.  This hook may be used to update the
- *	SOCK_INODE(sock)->i_security field with additional information that
- *	wasn't available when the inode was allocated.
- *	@sock contains the newly created socket structure.
- *	@family contains the requested protocol family.
- *	@type contains the requested communications type.
- *	@protocol contains the requested protocol.
- *	@kern set to 1 if a kernel socket.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_socketpair:
- *	Check permissions before creating a fresh pair of sockets.
- *	@socka contains the first socket structure.
- *	@sockb contains the second socket structure.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted and the connection was established.
- * @socket_bind:
- *	Check permission before socket protocol layer bind operation is
- *	performed and the socket @sock is bound to the address specified in the
- *	@address parameter.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@address contains the address to bind to.
- *	@addrlen contains the length of address.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_connect:
- *	Check permission before socket protocol layer connect operation
- *	attempts to connect socket @sock to a remote address, @address.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@address contains the address of remote endpoint.
- *	@addrlen contains the length of address.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_listen:
- *	Check permission before socket protocol layer listen operation.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@backlog contains the maximum length for the pending connection queue.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_accept:
- *	Check permission before accepting a new connection.  Note that the new
- *	socket, @newsock, has been created and some information copied to it,
- *	but the accept operation has not actually been performed.
- *	@sock contains the listening socket structure.
- *	@newsock contains the newly created server socket for connection.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_sendmsg:
- *	Check permission before transmitting a message to another socket.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@msg contains the message to be transmitted.
- *	@size contains the size of message.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_recvmsg:
- *	Check permission before receiving a message from a socket.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@msg contains the message structure.
- *	@size contains the size of message structure.
- *	@flags contains the operational flags.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_getsockname:
- *	Check permission before the local address (name) of the socket object
- *	@sock is retrieved.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_getpeername:
- *	Check permission before the remote address (name) of a socket object
- *	@sock is retrieved.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_getsockopt:
- *	Check permissions before retrieving the options associated with socket
- *	@sock.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@level contains the protocol level to retrieve option from.
- *	@optname contains the name of option to retrieve.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_setsockopt:
- *	Check permissions before setting the options associated with socket
- *	@sock.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@level contains the protocol level to set options for.
- *	@optname contains the name of the option to set.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_shutdown:
- *	Checks permission before all or part of a connection on the socket
- *	@sock is shut down.
- *	@sock contains the socket structure.
- *	@how contains the flag indicating how future sends and receives
- *	are handled.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_sock_rcv_skb:
- *	Check permissions on incoming network packets.  This hook is distinct
- *	from Netfilter's IP input hooks since it is the first time that the
- *	incoming sk_buff @skb has been associated with a particular socket, @sk.
- *	Must not sleep inside this hook because some callers hold spinlocks.
- *	@sk contains the sock (not socket) associated with the incoming sk_buff.
- *	@skb contains the incoming network data.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @socket_getpeersec_stream:
- *	This hook allows the security module to provide peer socket security
- *	state for unix or connected tcp sockets to userspace via getsockopt
- *	SO_GETPEERSEC.  For tcp sockets this can be meaningful if the
- *	socket is associated with an ipsec SA.
- *	@sock is the local socket.
- *	@optval memory where the security state is to be copied.
- *	@optlen memory where the module should copy the actual length
- *	of the security state.
- *	@len as input is the maximum length to copy to userspace provided
- *	by the caller.
- *	Return 0 if all is well, otherwise, typical getsockopt return
- *	values.
- * @socket_getpeersec_dgram:
- *	This hook allows the security module to provide peer socket security
- *	state for udp sockets on a per-packet basis to userspace via
- *	getsockopt SO_GETPEERSEC. The application must first have indicated
- *	the IP_PASSSEC option via getsockopt. It can then retrieve the
- *	security state returned by this hook for a packet via the SCM_SECURITY
- *	ancillary message type.
- *	@sock contains the peer socket. May be NULL.
- *	@skb is the sk_buff for the packet being queried. May be NULL.
- *	@secid pointer to store the secid of the packet.
- *	Return 0 on success, error on failure.
- * @sk_alloc_security:
- *	Allocate and attach a security structure to the sk->sk_security field,
- *	which is used to copy security attributes between local stream sockets.
- *	Return 0 on success, error on failure.
- * @sk_free_security:
- *	Deallocate security structure.

- * @inet_conn_request:
- *	Sets the openreq's sid to socket's sid with MLS portion taken
- *	from peer sid.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @inet_csk_clone:
- *	Sets the new child socket's sid to the openreq sid.
- * @inet_conn_established:
- *	Sets the connection's peersid to the secmark on skb.
- * @secmark_relabel_packet:
- *	Check if the process should be allowed to relabel packets to
- *	the given secid.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @secmark_refcount_inc:
- *	Tells the LSM to increment the number of secmark labeling rules loaded.
- * @secmark_refcount_dec:
- *	Tells the LSM to decrement the number of secmark labeling rules loaded.
- * @req_classify_flow:
- *	Sets the flow's sid to the openreq sid.
- * @tun_dev_alloc_security:
- *	This hook allows a module to allocate a security structure for a TUN
- *	device.
- *	@security pointer to a security structure pointer.
- *	Returns a zero on success, negative values on failure.
