[PATCH v14 22/26] ima: Introduce securityfs file to activate an IMA namespace

[Stefan Berger]

Introduce the IMA securityfs file 'active' that users now need to
write a "1" into (precisely a '1\0' or '1\n') to activate an IMA namespace.
When reading from the file, it shows either '0' or '1'.

The rationale for introducing a file to activate an IMA namespace is that
subsequent support for IMA-measurement and IMA-appraisal will add
configuration files for selecting for example the template that an IMA
namespace is supposed to use for logging measurements, which will add
an IMA namespace configuration stage (using securityfs files) before its
activation. Besides that it allows to create a user namespace with
securityfs mounted and an inactive IMA namespace.

Also, introduce ns_is_active() to be used in those places where the
ima_namespace pointer may either be NULL or where the active flag may not
have been set, yet. An inactive IMA namespace should never be accessed
since it has not been initialized, yet.

Set the init_ima_ns's active flag since it is considered active right from
the beginning.

v12:
 - Fixed uninitialized ret if IS_ERR(active) was true

v11:
 - Move code from ima_fs_add_ns_files() into ima_fs_ns_init()
 - Use ima_ns_flags and IMA_NS_ACTIVE instead of 'atomic_t active'

v10:
 - use memdup_user_nul to copy input from user
 - propagating error returned from ima_fs_add_ns_files()
