[PATCH v4 03/14] digest_cache: Add securityfs interface

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

Add the digest_cache_path file in securityfs, to let root change/read the
default path (file or directory) from where digest lists are looked up.

An RW semaphore prevents the default path from changing while
digest_list_new() and read_default_path() are executed, so that those read
a stable value. Multiple digest_list_new() and read_default_path() calls,
instead, can be done in parallel, since they are the readers.

Changing the default path does not affect digest caches created with the
old path.
