Thanks, Dmitry. There's one comment inline.

init_desc() is called from a couple of different places. In some
instances, like when converting from a signature to an hmac, if
init_desc() fails, the xattr isn't converted to an HMAC. No big deal.
But there are other cases, like when a protected xattr is modified,
failing the write will make the file inaccessible. Does there need to
be an error msg of some sort or an audit msg?
