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:
