Do you mean:

	if (!(attr->ia_valid & ATTR_SECURITY_LABEL))

?

You're not checking the return value of inode_setsecurity().

Why not just rely on inode_setsecurity() to perform the check, then you 
can lose the #ifdefs in the core code & make it a noop for 
!CONFIG_SECURITY.

Similarly, make this a function which is compiled away for 
!CONFIG_SECURITY.

Put the #ifdef inside fsnotify_change() and only process 
ATTR_SECURITY_LABEL if CONFIG_SECURITY.

I don't think there's any harm in always defining this.
