Subject: [PATCH v4 13/23] security: Introduce file_pre_free_security hook

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@...wei.com>

In preparation for moving IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce
the file_pre_free_security hook.

IMA calculates at file close the new digest of the file content and writes
it to security.ima, so that appraisal at next file access succeeds.

LSMs could also take some action before the last reference of a file is
released.

The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the operation to be
reverted.
