[RFC][PATCH 5/5] ramfs: Initialize security of in-memory inodes

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

Add a call security_inode_init_security() after ramfs_get_inode(), to let
LSMs initialize the inode security field. Skip ramfs_fill_super(), as the
initialization is done through the sb_set_mnt_opts hook.

Calling security_inode_init_security() call inside ramfs_get_inode() is
not possible since, for CONFIG_SHMEM=n, tmpfs also calls the former after
the latter.

Pass NULL as initxattrs() callback to security_inode_init_security(), since
the purpose of the call is only to initialize the in-memory inodes.
