Hi Linus,

Please merge this PR for the IPE fixes for 7.3.

This PR contains two commits that fix use-after-free issues found by
recent LLM-assisted code analysis.

The first commit moves successful policy load auditing under the new
policy directory's inode lock, preventing a concurrent policy deletion
from freeing the policy while it is still being audited.

The second commit protects the dm-verity root hash with RCU, preventing
policy evaluation from racing with root hash replacement during
preresume.

Both commits have been tested in linux-next since Tuesday without any
issues.

Thanks,
Fan
