[PATCH v3 12/25] security: Introduce inode_post_setattr hook

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

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

It is useful for EVM to recalculate the HMAC on modified file attributes
and other file metadata, after it verified the HMAC of current file
metadata with the inode_setattr hook.

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