Smack uses its own definitions for MAY_SOMETHING. Making
AppArmor's values global is going to clash. If you want to
do this there needs to be a grand consolidation. It could
go in security/lsm_hooks.h. I can't see anyone other than
Smack wanting MAY_LOCK, so I can't say the concept really
makes much sense.
