Looks like behavior of lsm hook inode_getsecurity() seems to be closest to
what you are looking for. If an LSM does not recognize the name, it
returns -EOPNOTSUPP. Also security_inode_getsecurity() returns -EOPNOTSUPP
if none of the lsms know about the "name". Only problem seems be what
if two lsms are stacked and first one does not know about the "name" but
second one does. In that case looks like we will return -EOPNOTSUPP
without calling into second lsm. And that sounds wrong. 

Please find attached the patch. I think this is the change you are looking
for. I have also changed call_int_hook() to continue calling into stacked
hooks if return code is -EOPNOTSUPP.

Does this look good?

Subject: security,overlayfs: Provide security hook for copy up of xattrs for overlay file

Provide a security hook which is called when xattrs of a file are being
copied up. This hook is called once for each xattr and LSM can return 0
to access the xattr, 1 to reject xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if none of the lsms
claim to know xattr and a negative error code if something went terribly
wrong.

If 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, xattr will be copied up, if 1 is returned,
xattr will not be copied up and if negative error code is returned, copy up
will be aborted.

In SELinux, label of lower file is not copied up. File already has been
set with right label at the time of creation and we don't want to overwrite
that label.
