From: Krzysztof Struczynski <krzysztof.struczynski at huawei.com>
Function hash_long() accepts unsigned long, while currently only one byte
is passed from ima_hash_key(), which calculates a key for ima_htable. Use
more bytes to avoid frequent collisions.
Length of the buffer is not explicitly passed as a function parameter,
because this function expects a digest whose length is greater than the
size of unsigned long.
