[PATCH 1/1] SMACK: Fix handling value==NULL in post setxattr

The function `smack_inode_post_setxattr` is called each time that a setxattr is done, for any value of name. The kernel allow to put value==NULL when size==0 to set an empty attribute value. The systematic call to smk_import_entry was causing the dereference of a NULL pointer hence a KERNEL PANIC!
