ocfs2 already defines ocfs2_init_security_get() as a wrapper around
calling either security_old_inode_init_security() or
security_inode_init_security().  Based on "si" one or the other hook is
called.  ocfs2_initxattrs is already defined.

        struct ocfs2_security_xattr_info si = {
                .name = NULL,
                .enable = 1,
        };

The main difference between calling security_old_inode_init_security or
security_inode_init_security() is whether or not security.evm is
calculated and written.

Perhaps it is time to remove the call to
security_old_inode_init_security() in ocfs2_init_security_get().  We
need to hear back from the ocfs2 community.  Mark?  Joel?

As noted previously this change affects mknod and symlinks.
