Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] ima: provide flag to identify new empty files

Newly created empty files do not get initial security.ima
value because iversion does not change. It can be checked from
the shell as:

  $ (exec >foo)
  $ getfattr -h -e hex -d -m security foo

This patch defines IMA_NEW_FILE flag which is set when IMA detects that new
file is created. It is checked upon ima_file_free hook to set initial
security.ima value.
