As pointed out by checkpatch.pl, there is a typo.

Could you give more details how to trigger this bug and to test this fix?

This kind of cosmetic change should not be part of this patch.

I looks like AppArmor is not using the inode_init_security hook. There 
should be a comment explaining why this number is correct, and a runtime 
check (given that a static_assert call is not possible in this case) to 
make sure this is correct at boot time, maybe in security_init().

You can use `if (WARN_ON_ONCE(i >= MAX_LSM_EVM_XATTR))` instead.

The content of this macro can be included in its only caller: 
security_inode_init_security().

This looks good overall.
