[PATCH v2 9/9] ima: Record i_version of real_inode for change detection

[Stefan Berger]

process_measurement() will try to detect file content changes for not-yet-
copied-up files on a stacked filesystem based on the i_version number of
the real inode: !inode_eq_iversion(real_inode, iint->version)
Therefore, take a snapshot of the i_version of the real file to be used
for i_version number-based file content change detection by IMA in
process_meassurements().

In this case vfs_getattr_nosec() cannot be used since it will return the
i_version number of the file on the overlay layer which will trigger more
iint resets in process_measurements() than necessary since this i_version
number represents different state than that of the real_inode (of a
not-yet-copied up file).
