[PATCH] ima: dynamically allocate shash_desc

On 32-bit ARM, we get a warning about excessive stack usage when
building with clang.

security/integrity/ima/ima_crypto.c:504:5: error: stack frame size of 1152 bytes in function 'ima_calc_field_array_hash' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]

Using kmalloc to get the descriptor reduces this to 320 bytes.
