Subject: [PATCH v39 38/42] LSM: Correct handling of ENOSYS in inode_setxattr

The usual "bail on fail" behavior of LSM hooks doesn't
work for security_inode_setxattr(). Modules are allowed
to return -ENOSYS if the attribute specified isn't one
they manage. Fix the code to accommodate this unusal case.
This requires changes to the hooks in SELinux and Smack.
