security: Introduce inode_post_removexattr hook

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

At inode_removexattr hook, EVM verifies the file's existing HMAC value. At
inode_post_removexattr, EVM re-calculates the file's HMAC with the passed
xattr removed and other file metadata.

Other LSMs could similarly take some action after successful xattr removal.

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