The security and integrity infrastructure has dedicated hooks now so
evm_xattr_acl_change() is dead code. Before this commit the callchain was:
evm_protect_xattr()
-> evm_xattr_change()
-> evm_xattr_acl_change()
where evm_protect_xattr() was hit from evm_inode_setxattr() and
evm_inode_removexattr(). But now we have evm_inode_set_acl() and
evm_inode_remove_acl() and have switched over the vfs to rely on the posix
acl api so the code isn't hit anymore.
