That would be a bit of a problem. It would be possible to add the number
of inode_init "slots" to struct lsm_info or to struct lsm_blob_sizes.
That would require dynamic allocation, but you've been advocating
that anyway. Ding! If we add the number of slots required to lsm_blob_sizes
we can replace that with the slot number to use in the inode_init_security
array. This is the same technique used for blob offsets in the LSM managed
blobs. The EVM hook will know the size of the array. We pass the base of
array to the module inode_init_security hooks, and they know what slot(s)
they've been told to use. The EVM hook starts with base and any slot that's
filled get processed.

Unfortunately, security_old_inode_init_security() will have to allocate
the array and copy results from the right slot into the parameters passed.
Essentially a complete rewrite.
