[PATCH v6 2/8] IMA: add support to measure buffer data hash

The original IMA buffer data measurement sizes were small (e.g. boot
command line), but the new buffer data measurement use cases have data 
sizes that are a lot larger.  Just as IMA measures the file data hash,
not the file data, IMA should similarly support the option for measuring 
the hash of the buffer data.

Measuring in-memory buffer-data/buffer-data-hash is different than
measuring file-data/file-data-hash. For the file, IMA stores the
measurements in both measurement log and the file's extended attribute -
which can later be used for appraisal as well. For buffer, the
measurements are only stored in the IMA log, since the buffer has no
extended attributes associated with it.

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