For whatever reason they didn't have an xsm_default_t first argument (to
cope with XSM=n mode), making it impossible to (easily) cover them in
xsm/hooks.h.

To be able to retain the const on their function parameters, adjust
xsm_default_action() accordingly.

This question came up on another thread, so thought I might point it out that when FLASK is in use this can return a nubmer of error codes beyond an access deny. While I know it's the existing behavior, but if the error code is anything other than -EPERM, then it's not that the policy denied the access but something cause a fault in the security server. In that case the domain is still being allowed to construct with the assumption that it was a policy deny. At a minimum should the error code at least get reported, and perhaps it should be passed up to domain construction to allowing it to make an informed decision on construction?
