Linus,

Four LSM framework patches for the Linux v7.3 merge window, the highlights
are below:

- Remove task_euid()

The task_euid(), and Rust counterpart, was never widely used, for good
reason, and now that the only user is gone we're removing it to rid
ourselves of both dead and funky code.

- Documentation improvements

Correct some of the kdoc comments for security_task_prctl() and clarify
the rust comments on task UID accessors.

- Fix a memory leak in the LSM syscall selftests
