security: add/fix security kernel-doc
Add security/inode.c functions to the kernel-api docbook. Use '%' on constants in kernel-doc notation. Fix several typos/spellos in security function descriptions. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
