Discussed in overlayfs, this would be better if we use this on inode
and called from vfs_tmpfile() instead of do_tmpfile(). This will cover
the overlayfs case which uses tmpfiles while performing copy_up().
The patch is attached.

Here is the updated patch which works for my cases.
However, it is the the failure case after setting the IMA flags
I am concerned about, though I don't think that should be as harmful.


If tmpfiles can be made persistent, then newly created tmpfiles need to
be treated like any other new files in policy.

This patch indicates which newly created tmpfiles are in policy, causing
the file hash to be calculated on __fput().
