The status is always reset if evm_protect_xattr() returns 0. This does not
change.

Not making INTEGRITY_PASS_IMMUTABLE conditional would cause issues.
Suppose that the status is INTEGRITY_FAIL. Writing the same xattr would
cause evm_protect_xattr() to return 0 and the HMAC to be updated.

INTEGRITY_FAIL_IMMUTABLE should be enough to continue the
operation.
