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

It is useful for EVM to recalculate the HMAC on the modified POSIX ACL and
other file metadata, after it verified the HMAC of current file metadata
with the inode_set_acl hook.

LSMs should use the new hook instead of inode_set_acl, when they need to
know that the operation was done successfully (not known in inode_set_acl).
The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the operation to be
reverted.
