[PATCH 2/5] IMA: Define an IMA hook to measure LSM data

LSM requires an IMA hook to be defined by the IMA subsystem to measure
the data gathered from the security modules.

Define a new IMA hook, namely ima_lsm_state(), that the LSM will call
to measure the data gathered from the security modules.

Sample IMA log entry for LSM measurement:

10 47eed9... ima-buf sha256:402f6b... lsm-state:selinux 656e61626c65643d313b656e666f7263696e673d30
