Using sping_lock_irqsave() and spin_lock_irqrestore() in ima_queue_key() 
is the right approach. Found a relevant blog below:

I think it would be safe to use the same spinlock functions in 
ima_process_queued_keys() as well, but not a must.

Could you please confirm if your change fixed the crash?
I'll post a patch shortly.

thanks,
