[PATCH v5 17/23] security: Introduce inode_post_remove_acl hook

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

In preparation for moving IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce
the inode_post_remove_acl hook.

At inode_remove_acl hook, EVM verifies the file's existing HMAC value. At
inode_post_remove_acl, EVM re-calculates the file's HMAC with the passed
POSIX ACL removed and other file metadata.

Other LSMs could similarly take some action after successful POSIX ACL
removal.

The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the operation to be
reverted.
