To be consistent with most LSM hooks, convert the return value of
hook getselfattr to 0 or a negative error code.

Before:
- Hook getselfattr returns number of attributes found on success
   or a negative error code on failure.

After:
- Hook getselfattr returns 0 on success or a negative error code
   on failure. An output parameter @nattr is introduced to hold
   the number of attributes found on success.

The getselfattr hook is different from the majority of the other LSM
hooks as getselfattr is used as part of lsm_get_self_attr(2) syscall and
not by other subsystems within the kernel.  Let's leave it as-is for now
as it is sufficiently special case that a deviation is okay.


Got it, thanks
