The patch title and description needs to be updated to refer to
lockdown, not securelevel.

As previously mentioned the last time these patches were posted, this
leaves out testing to see if the integrity subsystem is enabled.

Commit 503ceaef8e2e "ima: define a set of appraisal rules requiring
file signatures" was upstreamed.  An additional patch could force
these rules to be added to the custom policy, if lockdown is enabled.
 This and other patches in this series could then check to see if
is_ima_appraise_enabled() is true.
