[PATCH v9 1/6] IMA: Check IMA policy flag

[Lakshmi Ramasubramanian]

Return immediately from process_buffer_measurement()
if the IMA policy flag is set to zero. Not doing this
can result in kernel panic when process_buffer_measurement()
is called before IMA is initialized (for instance, when
the IMA hook is called when a key is added to
the .builtin_trusted_keys keyring).

This change adds the check in process_buffer_measurement()
to return immediately if ima_policy_flag is set to zero.
