Isn't that the purpose of the inode_init_security hook?

After all LSMs provide one or multiple xattrs, xattrs are going to be
written to the disk with the initxattr() callback of filesystems.

There is a small mistake above (XATTR_SMACK_TRANSMUTE instead
of XATTR_NAME_SMACKTRANSMUTE, as we are providing just the suffix).

After fixing that, Smack tests succeed:

95 Passed, 0 Failed, 100% Success rate

There was a test failing in dir-transmute.sh, before I fixed the xattr
name.

Thanks
