[PATCH 2/5] security: Support multiple LSMs implementing the inode_init_security hook

The current implementation of security_inode_init_security() is capable of
handling only one LSM providing an xattr to be set at inode creation. That
xattr is then passed to EVM to calculate the HMAC.

To support multiple LSMs, each providing an xattr, this patch makes the
following modifications:

security_inode_init_security():
- dynamically allocates new_xattrs, based on the number of
  inode_init_security hooks registered by LSMs;
- replaces the call_int_hook() macro with its definition, to correctly
  handle the case of an LSM returning -EOPNOTSUPP (the loop should not be
  stopped), and to advance in the new_xattrs array so that the correct
  xattr name, value and len pointers are passed to LSMs.

security_old_inode_init_security():
- replaces the call_int_hook() macro with its definition, to stop the loop
  at the first LSM providing an xattr, to avoid a memory leak (due to
  overwriting the *value pointer).

The modifications necessary for EVM to calculate the HMAC on all xattrs
will be done in a separate patch.
