Missing is a comment on moving the inline function definitions -
evm_inode_remove_acl(), evm_inode_post_remove_acl(), and
evm_inode_post_set_acl() - to evm_main.c.

Even though capability will be called after EVM, it doesn't make a
difference in this instance.

'security.capability' is one of the EVM protected xattrs.  As
capability isn't an LSM, it will now be called after EVM, which is a
problem.
