Make this clear at policy load so that IMA policy authors don't assume
that other uses of "appraise_flag=blacklist" are supported.
The code looks correct, but this patch description could be written at

Verifying that a file hash is not blacklisted is currently only
supported for files with appended signatures (modsig).  In the future,
this might change.  For now, ...
