Comment is a bit unclear to me...

Previous patch does not allow to set arbitrary LSM value,
but if runtime permission allows, it allows to set "initial" xattrs for
newly created files...

I think description I made is a bit unclear..

What I wanted to tell is that..

"Assuming that empty file is a newly created file, IMA skips EVM
verification which allows "offline" removing security.ima and set
arbitrary security xattrs. Updating and closing file will make EVM to
update security.evm with forged secirity xattrs.

The question is if making file empty on purpose, clearing security.ima
and changing xattrs will allow any attack as file is empty.
If so, then using FILE_CREATED flag is safe choice.
