Let's add a comment to the Makefile about this so everyone knows not
to mix up the ordering, otherwise this looks good to me.

At some point I think we may want to introduce the concept of numerical
priorities to security_add_hooks() to add some additional granularity
beyond the LSM_ORDER_XXX priority, but that is something we can do
later.
