Indicating this resolves a commit which was upstreamed in linux-3.4,
while the fix for that commit 0bbadafdc49d ("um: allow disabling
NO_IOMEM") was upstreamed only in linux-5.14, leaves out an important
detail.

Is the proper way of indicating this disconnect by adding to the fixes
line the kernel?
Fixes: f4a0391dfa91 ("ima: fix Kconfig dependencies") # v5.14+
