[PATCH v5 12/16] IMA: Add support for file reads without contents

From: Scott Branden <scott.branden at broadcom.com>

When the kernel_read_file LSM hook is called with contents=false, IMA
can appraise the file directly, without requiring a filled buffer. When
such a buffer is available, though, IMA can continue to use it instead
of forcing a double read here.
