[PATCH v3 1/3] ima: Introduce ima_get_current_hash_algo()

[Roberto Sassu]

This patch introduces the new function ima_get_current_hash_algo(), that
callers in the other kernel subsystems might use to obtain the hash
algorithm selected by IMA.

Its primary use will be to determine which algorithm has been used to
calculate the digest written by ima_measure_critical_data() to the location
passed as a new parameter (in a subsequent patch).

Since the hash algorithm does not change after the IMA setup phase, there
is no risk of races (obtaining a digest calculated with a different
algorithm than the one returned).
