    Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
    
     - Add proper multi-LSM support for xattrs in the
       security_inode_init_security() hook
    
       Historically the LSM layer has only allowed a single LSM to add an
       xattr to an inode, with IMA/EVM measuring that and adding its own as
       well. As we work towards promoting IMA/EVM to a "proper LSM" instead
       of the special case that it is now, we need to better support the
       case of multiple LSMs each adding xattrs to an inode and after
       several attempts we now appear to have something that is working
       well. It is worth noting that in the process of making this change we
       uncovered a problem with Smack's SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr which is also
       fixed in this pull request.
    
     - Additional LSM hook constification
    
       Two patches to constify parameters to security_capget() and
       security_binder_transfer_file(). While I generally don't make a
       special note of who submitted these patches, these were the work of
       an Outreachy intern, Khadija Kamran, and that makes me happy;
       hopefully it does the same for all of you reading this.
    
     - LSM hook comment header fixes
    
       One patch to add a missing hook comment header, one to fix a minor
       typo.
    
     - Remove an old, unused credential function declaration
    
       It wasn't clear to me who should pick this up, but it was trivial,
       obviously correct, and arguably the LSM layer has a vested interest
       in credentials so I merged it. Sadly I'm now noticing that despite my
       subject line cleanup I didn't cleanup the "unsued" misspelling, sigh
