[PATCH v3 14/25] security: Introduce file_post_open hook

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

In preparation to move IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce the
file_post_open hook. Also, export security_file_post_open() for NFS.

It is useful for IMA to calculate the digest of the file content, and to
decide based on that digest whether the file should be made accessible to
the requesting process.

LSMs should use this hook instead of file_open, if they need to make their
decision based on an opened file (for example by inspecting the file
content). The file is not open yet in the file_open hook. The new hook can
return an error and can cause the open to be aborted.
