[PATCH v4 2/6] IMA: conditionally allow empty rule data

From: Tushar Sugandhi
Date: Wed Sep 23 2020 - 15:20:27 EST


ima_match_rule_data() permits the func to pass empty func_data.
For instance, for the following func, the func_data keyrings= is
optional.
measure func=KEY_CHECK keyrings=.ima

But a new func in future may want to constrain the func_data to
be non-empty. ima_match_rule_data() should support this constraint
and it shouldn't be hard-coded in ima_match_rule_data().

Update ima_match_rule_data() to conditionally allow empty func_data
for the func that needs it.
