Notes:
a. The location for some of these might need to be modified.
b. 'locked_down' was just missing a final ':'.
c. Added a new section: Security hooks for perf events.

Thanks for doing this. Note that some of the existing kernel-doc comments for these hooks include a separate line describing each parameter (not just embedded in the function description) and a line describing the return value. Is that optional for kernel-doc? Obviously what you have added here is an improvement, just wondering whether it suffices or needs further augmentation.
