[RFC][PATCH v2 5/9] ima: Modify existing boot-time built-in policies with digest cache policies

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

Setting the boot-time built-in policies 'digest_cache_measure' and
'digest_cache_appraise' is not sufficient to use the digest_cache LSM to
measure and appraise files, since their effect is only to measure and
appraise digest lists.

Modify existing measurement rules if the 'digest_cache_measure' built-in
policy is specified by adding to them:

digest_cache=data pcr=12

Other than enabling the usage of the digest_cache LSM for measurement, the
additional keywords also store measurements in the PCR 12, to not confuse
new style measurements with the original ones still stored on PCR 10.

Modify existing appraisal rules if the 'digest_cache_appraise' built-in
policy is specified by adding to them:

digest_cache=data

The additional keyword enables the usage of digest_cache LSM for appraisal.
