The purpose of this patch was to tie ima and evm into integrity, since
the iint_cache is used by both. It's been true since 4.20 that using
ima and evm requires that the LSM named "integrity" has been initialized.
Since ima and evm have separate indicators for "am I active?" (much like
apparmor, etc), it seemed sensible to make ima and evm part of the LSM
named "integrity". Other solutions are totally fine!

I do note, however, this patch needs to be tweaked for the case where
CONFIG_IMA or CONFIG_EVM are not set.
