[PATCH v2] integrity: track mtime in addition to i_version for assessment

[Jeff Layton]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton at redhat.com>

The IMA assessment code tries to use the i_version counter to detect
when changes to a file have occurred. Many filesystems don't increment
it properly (or at all) so detecting changes with that is not always
reliable.

That check should be gated on IS_I_VERSION, as you can't rely on the
i_version field changing unless that returns true.

Have the code also track and check the mtime for the file. If the
IS_I_VERSION returns false, then use it to detect whether the file's
contents might have changed.
