Normally you'd define a static inline stub for the hook in the #else 
clause for CONFIG_SECURITY in include/linux/security.h and avoid any 
ifdef here.

What ensures that the mapping referenced by src can't be changed to an 
entirely different one (with a different vm_file) between the time of 
check (here) and the time of use?
