[PATCH v2 06/11] LSM: fix documentation for the path_chmod hook

From: Denis Efremov <hidden>
Date: 2019-02-26 20:51:05
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

The path_chmod hook was changed in the commit
"switch security_path_chmod() to struct path *" (cdcf116d44e7).
The argument @mnt was removed from the hook, @dentry was changed
to @path. This patch updates the documentation accordingly.
