    ima: Move to LSM infrastructure · cd3cec0a

    Move hardcoded IMA function calls (not appraisal-specific functions) from
    various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure, by introducing a
    new LSM named 'ima' (at the end of the LSM list and always enabled like
    'integrity').
    
    Having IMA before EVM in the Makefile is sufficient to preserve the
    relative order of the new 'ima' LSM in respect to the upcoming 'evm' LSM,
    and thus the order of IMA and EVM function calls as when they were
    hardcoded.
    
    Make moved functions as static (except ima_post_key_create_or_update(),
    which is not in ima_main.c), and register them as implementation of the
    respective hooks in the new function init_ima_lsm().
    
    Select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH, to ensure that the path-based LSM hook
    path_post_mknod is always available and ima_post_path_mknod() is always
    executed to mark files as new, as before the move.
    
    A slight difference is that IMA and EVM functions registered for the
    inode_post_setattr, inode_post_removexattr, path_post_mknod,
    inode_post_cr...
