[RESEND][PATCH v2 3/6] ima: Fix ima digest hash table key calculation

From: Krzysztof Struczynski <krzysztof.struczynski at huawei.com>

Function hash_long() accepts unsigned long, while currently only one byte
is passed from ima_hash_key(), which calculates a key for ima_htable.

Given that hashing the digest does not give clear benefits compared to
using the digest itself, remove hash_long() and return the modulus
calculated on the first two bytes of the digest with the number of slots.
Also reduce the depth of the hash table by doubling the number of slots.

Changelog

v2: directly access the first two bytes of the digest to avoid memory
    access issues on big endian systems (suggested by David Laight)
