Subject: [GIT] Fix for regression in integrity subsystem

Please pull for 3.8.

Description from Tetsuo:

Commit fdf90729 "ima: support new kernel module syscall" by error modified 
init_module() to return INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN (which is 4) to user space if 
kernel was built with CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE=y. As a result, user space can 
no longer load kernel modules using init_module(). This commit fixes this 
regression.

    ima: fallback to MODULE_SIG_ENFORCE for existing kernel module syscall
    
    The new kernel module syscall appraises kernel modules based
    on policy.   If the IMA policy requires kernel module checking,
    fallback to module signature enforcing for the existing syscall.
    Without CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE enabled, the kernel module's
    integrity is unknown, return -EACCES.
