From: Xiaolei Li <xiaolei.li@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This is a conceptual cherry-pick of commit d8db5b1ca9d4c57e49893d0f78e6d5ce81450cc8 upstream. The inode is not locked in init_xattrs when creating a new inode. Without this patch, there will occurs assert when booting or creating a new file, if the kernel config CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK is enabled.
