I'm going to channel Paul and suggest this be xattr_transmute instead of xattr2.
It also looks like it could move to be declared in the if clause.

I think you need to keep this. More below.

Where is the SMACK64_TRANSMUTE attribute going to get set on the file?
It's not going to get set in smack_init_inode_security(). The inode will
know it's transmuting, but it won't get to disk without the __vfs_setxattr()
here in smack_d_instantiate(). Now, it's been a long time since that code
was written, so I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure about that.

I think that you should be fine with the changes in smack_init_inode_security(),
and leaving smack_d_instantiate() untouched.
