From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>
In preparation for moving IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce
the inode_post_removexattr hook.
It is useful for EVM to recalculate the HMAC on the remaining file xattrs,
and other file metadata, after it verified the HMAC of current file
metadata with the inode_removexattr hook.
LSMs should use the new hook instead of inode_removexattr, when they need
to know that the operation was done successfully (not known in
inode_removexattr). The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause
the operation to be reverted.
