smack: fix logic in smack_inode_init_security function
In principle if this function was called with "value" == NULL and "len" not NULL it could return different results for the "len" compared to a case where "name" was not NULL. This is a hypothetical case that does not exist in the kernel, but it's a logic bug nonetheless. Signed-off-by: Lukasz Pawelczyk <l.pawelczyk@samsung.com>
