An IMA policy had to have been loaded in order for
integrity_inode_get() to have been called.   If this is happening on
boot, it's too early for a custom policy to have been loaded by
userspace, but I don't see the builtin policy defined on the boot
command line either.

Any additional information would be much appreciated.
