From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>
In preparation for moving IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce
the inode_post_setattr hook.
At inode_setattr hook, EVM verifies the file's existing HMAC value. At
inode_post_setattr, EVM re-calculates the file's HMAC based on the modified
file attributes and other file metadata.
Other LSMs could similarly take some action after successful file attribute
change.
The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the operation to be
reverted.
