Subject: LSM: fix documentation for the syslog hook
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f4b97555c2e54bc5555be9d8a14ac07ddf82345;p=linux.git

LSM: fix documentation for the syslog hook

The syslog hook was changed in the commit
"capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog logic to
fix build failure" (12b3052c3ee8). The argument @from_file
was removed from the hook. This patch updates the
documentation for the syslog hook accordingly.
