Hi Jiri,

Thank you for thinking about IMA.

When KEXEC_SIG is not enabled, kernel should not load images through
kexec_file systemcall if the kernel is locked down unless IMA can be used
to validate the image.
This patch is a partial solution, but it doesn't take into account the
architecture specific or custom policies.

[Modified by David Howells to fit with modifications to the previous patch
 and to return -EPERM if the kernel is locked down for consistency with
 other lockdowns]
