Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ima: detect security xattrs not enabled

vfs_getxattr_alloc() returns -EOPNOTSUPP if filesystem does not have
security label enabled. In that case there is no point in continuing
further and try to fix hashes (if ima_appraise=fix was specified) as
that will fail too. Return early
