[PATCH v3 2/3] ima: Return int in the functions to measure a buffer

[Roberto Sassu]

ima_measure_critical_data() and process_buffer_measurement() currently
don't return a result. A caller wouldn't be able to know whether those
functions were executed successfully.

This patch modifies the return type from void to int, and returns 0 if the
buffer has been successfully measured, a negative value otherwise.

Also, this patch does not modify the behavior of existing callers by
processing the returned value. For those, the return value is ignored.
