Thanks for the review. I have verified the headers are indeed unnecessary,
I will remove them in the next version.

Yes the hook call should better depend on a KCONFIG. After second thought I think it
should depend on CONFIG_IPE_PROP_FS_VERITY, which also indirectly introduces the
dependency on CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES.
Currently security_inode_setsecurity only allows one LSM to save data with a given name.
In our case IPE will be the only LSM that saves the signature.
I will update this part in the next version.

I agree this name works better, I will change it to "fsverity.builtin-sig".
