switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately

Browse Source 
smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr()
instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining
it from dentry.

Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64.  Unlike
->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of
->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately
it got missed back then.

->setxattr() and xattr_handler.set() get dentry and inode passed separately.
dentry might be yet to be attached to inode, so do _not_ use its ->d_inode
in the instances. Rationale: !@#!@# security_d_instantiate() needs to be
called before we attach dentry to inode and !@#!@##!@$!$#!@#$!@$!@$ smack
->d_instantiate() uses not just ->getxattr() but ->setxattr() as well.
