[PATCH v3 19/25] 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.

It is useful for EVM to recalculate the HMAC on the remaining POSIX ACLs
and other file metadata, after it verified the HMAC of current file
metadata with the inode_remove_acl hook.

LSMs should use the new hook instead of inode_remove_acl, when they need to
know that the operation was done successfully (not known in
inode_remove_acl). The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the
operation to be reverted.
