The fs_context_parse_param hook already has a description, which seems the
right one according to the code.

I just merged this into lsm/next with a 'Fixes' tag pointing at the
previous comment block commit, thanks Roberto.

Thanks Paul. Didn't include it, as I thought it is part of the stable
kernel process. I guess it is always fine to include it, and to not CC
the stable kernel mailing list, when the patch does not meet the
criteria.

To be clear, the 'Fixes' tag here was for the previous comment fix
patch which only exists in the lsm/next branch and not any released
kernel, adding a stable/CC to this patch wouldn't have done anything
except throw up a number of automatically generated merge conflicts as
the stable folks tried to merge just this patch.  The 'Fixes' tag is
simply a bit of administrative housekeeping to connect this patch back
to the original, problematic patch; it will largely go unnoticed
unless someone decides to cherry pick patches.

When in doubt it's okay to add a Fixes tag, but leave off the
stable/CC.  In fact I prefer if people leave off the stable/CC as I've
found it to often be misused IMO; I'd rather add it when merging the
patch into one of the stable branches.

It looks like the bot has a few screws loose as this went up to Linus
via the LSM tree :)
