[PATCH v3 4/6] ima: add support for arch specific policies

Builtin IMA policies can be enabled on the boot command line, and replaced
with a custom policy, normally during early boot in the initramfs. Build
time IMA policy rules were recently added. These rules are automatically
enabled on boot and persist after loading a custom policy.

There is a need for yet another type of policy, an architecture specific
policy, which is derived at runtime during kernel boot, based on the
runtime secure boot flags.  Like the build time policy rules, these rules
persist after loading a custom policy.

This patch adds support for loading an architecture specific IMA policy.

- Defined function to convert the arch policy strings to an array of
ima_entry_rules.  The memory can then be freed after loading a custom
policy.
- Rename ima_get_arch_policy to arch_get_ima_policy.
Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar at linux.ibm.com>
- Modified ima_init_arch_policy() and ima_init_policy() to use add_rules()
from previous patch.
