Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 093/254] evm: properly handle INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS EVM status

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Kasatkin <d.kasatkin@...sung.com>

commit 3dcbad52cf18c3c379e96b992d22815439ebbe53 upstream.

Unless an LSM labels a file during d_instantiate(), newly created
files are not labeled with an initial security.evm xattr, until
the file closes.  EVM, before allowing a protected, security xattr
to be written, verifies the existing 'security.evm' value is good.
For newly created files without a security.evm label, this
verification prevents writing any protected, security xattrs,
until the file closes.

Following is the example when this happens:
fd = open("foo", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, 0644);
setxattr("foo", "security.SMACK64", value, sizeof(value), 0);
close(fd);

While INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS status is handled in other places, such
as evm_inode_setattr(), it does not handle it in all cases in
evm_protect_xattr().  By limiting the use of INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS to
newly created files, we can now allow setting "protected" xattrs.

Changelog:
- limit the use of INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS to IMA identified new files
