[PATCH v2 3/3] IMA: Support early boot measurement of critical data

The IMA hook, namely ima_measure_critical_data(), to measure kernel
critical data requires a custom IMA policy to be loaded.

Update ima_measure_critical_data() to utilize early boot measurement
support to defer processing data if a custom IMA policy is not yet
loaded.
