[PATCH 3/4] ima: Improvements in ima_appraise_measurement()

[Thiago Jung Bauermann]

From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Replace nested ifs in the EVM xattr verification logic with a switch
statement, making the code easier to understand.

Also, add comments to the if statements in the out section and constify the
cause variable.
