[PATCH 05/11] evm: Allow xattr/attr operations for portable signatures if check fails

[Roberto Sassu]

If files with portable signatures are copied from one location to another
or are extracted from an archive, verification can temporarily fail until
all xattrs/attrs are set in the destination. Portable signatures are the
only ones that can be moved to different files, as they don't depend on
system-specific information such as the inode generation.

Unlike other security.evm types, portable signatures can never be replaced
even if an xattr/attr operation is granted, as once evm_update_evmxattr()
detects this type, it returns without updating the HMAC. Thus, it wouldn't
be a problem to allow those operations so that verification passes on the
destination after all xattrs/attrs are copied.

This patch first introduces a new integrity status called
INTEGRITY_FAIL_IMMUTABLE, that allows callers of
evm_verify_current_integrity() to detect that a portable signature didn't
pass verification and then adds an exception in evm_protect_xattr() and
evm_inode_setattr() for this status and returns 0 instead of -EPERM.
