If I remember correctly James merged this patch into his security tree after I
had applied it to the SELinux tree but before the SELinux tree was pulled into
the security tree. There was also some "differences in process" (see the LSM
archives if you're interested) when it came to pulling the SELinux tree into
the security tree, the end result is what you are seeing now. The differences
should be fixed going forward as James' has agreed to start merging regular
releases (e.g. 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, ...) into the security tree so this shouldn't
happen again.

The good news for this particular patch is that it *is* applied to the
security tree, this duplicate/empty entry can be ignored. I'm sorry for the
confusion.
