[PATCH] ima: Fix sigv3 signature handling for EVM_IMA_XATTR_DIGSIG

ima_get_hash_algo() only recognizes version 2 signatures when the xattr
type is EVM_IMA_XATTR_DIGSIG. Since sigv3 signatures also use
EVM_IMA_XATTR_DIGSIG as the xattr type, version 3 must be accepted as
well to correctly determine the hash algorithm.

Additionally, ima_validate_rule() does not include IMA_SIGV3_REQUIRED in
the allowed flags bitmask for MODULE_CHECK, KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK, and
KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK hook functions. As a result, policy rules with
"appraise_type=sigv3" are rejected for these functions.

Add version 3 to the accepted versions in ima_get_hash_algo() for
EVM_IMA_XATTR_DIGSIG, and add IMA_SIGV3_REQUIRED to the allowed flags
for MODULE_CHECK, KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK, and KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK in
ima_validate_rule().
