Re: [PATCH v3] ima: silence measurement list hexdump during kexec

The measurement list is being dumped during soft resets (kexec) through the
call to print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, ...) without considering the DEBUG
compilation flag. With that, to avoid dumping this information to the system
log whenever a soft reset happens during boot process, since the default
console loglevel is generally set to 7 (debug) during boot, guard the call
to print_hex_dump() with #ifdef for the DEBUG cflag.

The patch description needs to be rewritten/simplified.  If the only
problem is that "the console loglevel is generally set to 7 (debug)",
why not begin with the patch description with that?

Other things to consider including in the patch description:
- any side effects of the change (e.g. ability to dynamically enable
output)?
