Other than missing the export for ima_path_check() for nfs and the
re-ordering not being bisect safe, they look good.  I've updated
the following two patches, from Eric's patchset, and would appreciate
your applying them as well:

ima: rename ima_path_check to ima_file_check
ima: rename PATH_CHECK to FILE_CHECK

Posting them separately.
