Move the ima_write_mutex, ima_fs_flag, and valid_policy variables into
ima_namespace. This way each IMA namespace can set those variables
independently.
This patch description needs to be expanded a bit, indicating why
they're being moved together. These flags are needed when loading a
policy. Please also update the "struct ima_namespace" comment.

I'll extend the above sentence like this:

... those variables independently in its instance of securityfs.
