John Johansen 9d0633cfed Remove redundant check from proc_sys_setattr()
notify_change() already calls security_inode_setattr() before
calling iop->setattr.

Alan sayeth

  This is a behaviour change on all of these and limits some behaviour of
  existing established security modules

  When inode_change_ok is called it has side effects.  This includes
  clearing the SGID bit on attribute changes caused by chmod.  If you make
  this change the results of some rulesets may be different before or after
  the change is made.

  I'm not saying the change is wrong but it does change behaviour so that
  needs looking at closely (ditto all other attribute twiddles)
