(Reposting with expanded 'cc' list.)

Included in the EVM hmac calculation is the i_mode.  Any changes to
the i_mode need to be reflected in the hmac.  shmem_mknod() currently
calls posix_acl_init(), which modifies the i_mode, after calling
security_inode_init_security().  This patch reverses the order in
which they are called.
