This series backports patches in order to resolve the issue discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/389334fe-6e12-96b2-6ce9-9f0e8fcb85bf@huawei.com/

This required backporting the non-blocking LSM policy update mechanism
prerequisite patches. As well as bugfixes that follows.

c66f67414c1f ("IB/core: Don't register each MAD agent for LSM notifier")
is merged as the prerequisite of 42df744c4166 ("LSM: switch to blocking
policy update notifiers"). e144d6b26541 ("ima: Evaluate error in
init_ima()") is merged as a follow up bugfix for b16942455193 ("ima:
use the lsm policy update notifier"). 483ec26eed42 ("ima: ima/lsm policy
rule loading logic bug fixes") and 9ff8a616dfab ("ima: Have the LSM free
its audit rule") is also followup bugfixes. The former would change the
behavior of rule loading without fixing any criticial bug so I don't
think it's necessary, while the latter has already been merged.

I've tested the patches against said issue and can confirm that the
issue is fixed.

This is a re-send of the original patchset as the original patchset
might have a faulty cover letter. The original patchset could be found
