This patch generally looks really good to me with the exception of one
thing...

We should only accept rules with these specified hook functions when an
LSM that has measurement support is enabled. This messes up the ordering
of your patch series but it could be as simple as doing this:

			else if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX) &&
				 strcmp(args[0].from, "LSM_STATE") == 0)
				 entry->func = LSM_STATE;

Or you could do something a little more complex, like what's done with
CONFIG_IMA_LSM_RULES. You could create a CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_LSM option
that's default enabled but depends on CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX and then
check for IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_LSM) in ima_parse_rule().

I'd personally opt for just placing the
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX) check directly into
ima_parse_rule().
