Please also update the description of @name as well (remove allocated).

Remove, and use the check below.

This does not work properly. Suppose that you have an LSM with xattr
and another without. The final ret will be -EOPNOTSUPP. Instead declare
new_xattrs_set boolean, and set to true if ret = 0. After the loop,
check the boolean instead of ret. If ret != 0 goto out.

We can check here if the LSM behaved properly, i.e. it set the xattr
name and value:
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!lsm_xattr->name || !lsm_xattr->value)) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}

It should be:
evm_xattr = lsm_xattr;
You incremented lsm_xattr already, after the LSMs set their xattr.
Once you complete the changes, I will send a patch set including your
patch with some more patches.
