This patch against 2.5.69 moves the security_d_instantiate hook calls in
d_instantiate and d_splice_alias after the inode has been attached to
the dentry. This change is necessary so that security modules can
internally call the getxattr inode operation (which takes a dentry
parameter) from this hook to obtain the inode security label. Al, if
you approve of this change, please acknowledge. If not, please advise
as to what must change. Thanks.
