[PATCH v2] integrity: silence warning when CONFIG_SECURITYFS is not enabled

When CONFIG_SECURITYFS is not enabled, securityfs_create_dir returns
-ENODEV which throws the following error:
	"Unable to create integrity sysfs dir: -19"

However, if the feature is disabled, it can't be warning and hence
we need to silence the error. This patch checks for the error -ENODEV
which is returned when CONFIG_SECURITYFS is disabled to stop the error
being thrown.
Both IMA and EVM require securityfs, at least for the time being.
?Under what circumstances would integrity and not securityfs be
enabled. ?Is this a Kconfig issue?
