[PATCH v8 2/6] ocfs2: Switch to security_inode_init_security()

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

In preparation for removing security_old_inode_init_security(), switch to
security_inode_init_security().

Extend the existing ocfs2_initxattrs() to take the
ocfs2_security_xattr_info structure from fs_info, and populate the
name/value/len triple with the first xattr provided by LSMs.

As fs_info was not used before, ocfs2_initxattrs() can now handle the case
of replicating the behavior of security_old_inode_init_security(), i.e.
just obtaining the xattr, in addition to setting all xattrs provided by
LSMs.

Supporting multiple xattrs is not currently supported where
security_old_inode_init_security() was called (mknod, symlink), as it
requires non-trivial changes that can be done at a later time. Like for
reiserfs, even if EVM is invoked, it will not provide an xattr (if it is
not the first to set it, its xattr will be discarded; if it is the first,
it does not have xattrs to calculate the HMAC on).

Finally, since security_inode_init_security(), unlike
security_old_inode_init_security(), returns zero instead of -EOPNOTSUPP if
no xattrs were provided by LSMs or if inodes are private, additionally
check in ocfs2_init_security_get() if the xattr name is set.

If not, act as if security_old_inode_init_security() returned -EOPNOTSUPP,
and set si->enable to zero to notify to the functions following
ocfs2_init_security_get() that no xattrs are available.
