[PATCH 11/12] ima: don't report measurements if digests are included in the loaded lists

Don't report measurements if the file digest has been included in
an uploaded digest list.

The advantage of this solution is that the boot time overhead, when
a TPM is available, is very small because a PCR is extended only
for unknown files. The disadvantage is that verifiers do not know
anymore which and when files are accessed (they must assume that
the worst case happened, i.e. all files have been accessed).
