[PATCH 0/9] integrity: Move hooks into LSM

Hi,

It's been over 4 years since LSM stack was introduced. The integrity
subsystem is long overdue for moving to this infrastructure. Here's my
first pass at converting integrity and ima (and some of evm) into LSM
hooks. This should be enough of an example to finish evm, and introduce
the missing hooks for both. For example, after this, it looks like ima
only has a couple places it's still doing things outside of the LSM. At
least these stood out:

fs/namei.c:     ima_post_create_tmpfile(mnt_userns, inode);
fs/namei.c:                             ima_post_path_mknod(mnt_userns, dentry);

Mimi, can you please take this series and finish the conversion for
what's missing in ima and evm?

I would also call attention to "175 insertions(+), 240 deletions(-)" --
as expected, this is a net reduction in code.

Thanks!
