evm_inode_init_security() requires the HMAC key to calculate the HMAC on
initial xattrs provided by LSMs. Unfortunately, with the evm_key_loaded()
check, the function continues even if the HMAC key is not loaded
(evm_key_loaded() returns true also if EVM has been initialized only with a
public key). If the HMAC key is not loaded, evm_inode_init_security()
returns an error later when it calls evm_init_hmac().
Thus, this patch replaces the evm_key_loaded() check with a check of the
EVM_INIT_HMAC flag in evm_initialized, so that evm_inode_init_security()
returns 0 instead of an error.
