[PATCH v5 2/7] IMA: update process_buffer_measurement to measure buffer hash

process_buffer_measurement() currently only measures the input buffer.
In case of SeLinux policy measurement, the policy being measured could
be large (several MB). This may result in a large entry in IMA
measurement log.

Introduce a boolean parameter measure_buf_hash to support measuring
hash of a buffer, which would be much smaller, instead of the buffer
itself.

To use the functionality introduced in this patch, the attestation
client and the server changes need to go hand in hand. The
client/kernel would know what data is being measured as-is
(e.g. KEXEC_CMDLINE), and what data has it’s hash measured (e.g. SeLinux
Policy). And the attestation server should verify data/hash accordingly.

Just like the data being measured in other cases, the attestation server
will know what are possible values of the large buffers being measured.
e.g. the possible valid SeLinux policy values that are being pushed to
the client. The attestation server will have to maintain the hash of
those buffer values.
