[PATCH] Change LSM hooks in setxattr against 2.5.68

sdsat_private

This patch against 2.5.68 adds a security_inode_post_setxattr hook so
that security modules can update the inode security structure after a
successful setxattr, and it moves the existing security_inode_setxattr
hook call after the taking the inode semaphore so that atomicity is
provided for the security check and the update to the inode security
structure.  This patch is a subset of the earlier Extended Attributes
for Security Modules patch that only changes the LSM API, split out at
the request of Christoph Hellwig.  Please apply.
