[PATCH v2 3/4] ima: fail signature verification based on policy

[Mimi Zohar]

This patch addresses the fuse privileged mounted filesystems in
environments which are unwilling to accept the risk of trusting the
signature verification and want to always fail safe, but are for
example using a pre-built kernel.

This patch defines a new builtin policy "unverifiable_sigs", which can
be specified on the boot command line as an argument to "ima_policy=".
