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

As temp files can be made persistent, treat new temp files like other new
files, so that the file hash is calculated and stored in the security
xattr.

LSMs could also take some action after temp files have been created.

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