When (ia->ia_valid & (ATTR_MODE | ATTR_UID | ATTR_GID)) is zero, then the SELinux implementation of the locked_down hook might report a denial even though the operation would actually be allowed. To fix this, make sure that security_locked_down() is called only when the return value will be taken into account (i.e. when changing one of the problematic attributes). Note: this was introduced by commit 5496197f9b08 ("debugfs: Restrict debugfs when the kernel is locked down"), but it didn't matter at that time, as the SELinux support came in later.
