security: Introduce file_post_open hook
In preparation to move IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce the
file_post_open hook. Also, export security_file_post_open() for NFS.
Based on policy, IMA calculates the digest of the file content and
extends the TPM with the digest, verifies the file's integrity based on
the digest, and/or includes the file digest in the audit log.
LSMs could similarly take action depending on the file content and the
access mask requested with open().
The new hook returns a value and can cause the open to be aborted.
