[PATCH RFC 2/3] security: two more call_int_hook_ignore_default use-cases

Quite similar to the previous commit, the hooks:
inode_setxattr
inode_removexattr
don't allow the LSM to tell the core to ignore it's return code.
The main difference it that the above mentioned hooks explicitly check
for a non zero return value from the hook to perform the default action.
Changing the LSM_RET_DEFAULT to 1 and using call_int_hook_ignore_default
allows LSM returning the LSM_RET_DEFAULT value will become no-op for the
mentioned hooks.
All the exiting LSM except BPF never use 1 as return value, so no
functional change is expected.
