[PATCH v5] evm: Correct inode_init_security hooks behaviors

From: Nicolas Bouchinet <nicolas.bouchinet at ssi.gouv.fr>

Fixes a NULL pointer dereference occurring in the
`evm_protected_xattr_common` function of the EVM LSM. The bug is
triggered if a `inode_init_security` hook returns 0 without initializing
the given `struct xattr` fields (which is the case of BPF) and if no
other LSM overrides thoses fields after. This also leads to memory
leaks.

The `call_int_hook_xattr` macro has been inlined into the
`security_inode_init_security` hook in order to check hooks return
values and skip ones who doesn't init `xattrs`.

Modify `evm_init_hmac` function to init the EVM hmac using every
entry of the given xattr array.

The `MAX_LSM_EVM_XATTR` value is now based on the security modules
compiled in, which gives room for SMACK, SELinux, Apparmor, BPF and
IMA/EVM security attributes.

Changes the default return value of the `inode_init_security` hook
definition to `-EOPNOTSUPP`.

Changes the hook documentation to match the behavior of the LSMs using
it (only xattr->value is initialised with kmalloc and thus is the only
one that should be kfreed by the caller).

Changes since v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/Y1lElHVQGT%2F1Pa6O@archlinux/
* Updated the `security_inode_init_security()` hook documentation.
* Moved the NULL pointer dereference check from `evm_protected_xattr_common()`
  inside the LSM hook calls loop of the `security_inode_init_security()`
  function (as suggested by Roberto Sassu).
* Fixes the error return conditions of the `hlist_for_each_entry()`
  loop in the `security_inode_init_security()` function (as suggested by Roberto Sassu).
* Fixes the `evm_xattr` pointer calculation before the `evm_inode_init_security()`
  call (as suggested by Roberto Sassu).

Changes since v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/Y1fu4jofqLHVDprT@archlinux/
* Fixes compilation error reported by the kernel test robot.

Changes since v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/Y1K3bf+dtNnVe7DG@archlinux/
* The `evm_init_hmacs` has been merged with `evm_init_hmac`
  (as suggested by Mimi Zohar).
* The commit message has been updated to match the patch changes.

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/Y1FTSIo+1x+4X0LS@archlinux/
* The `call_int_hook_xattr` macro has been inlined into the
  `security_inode_init_security` hook (as suggested by Paul Moor,
  Mickaël Salaün and Casey Schaufler).
* The MAX_LSM_EVM_XATTR value is processed based on compiled LSMs (as
  proposed by Casey Schaufler).
* Various typos and cosmetic changes has been fixed (as suggested by
  Mickaël Salaün)
* A MAX_LSM_EVM_XATTR test has been wrapped in a WARN_ON_ONCE macro (as
  suggested by Mickaël Salaün).
