I only mentioned "fix" mode, not "log" mode (explanation below).

"xvalue->type" is an enumerated type.  Testing each possible value seems
kind of a brittle method for vetting the value.  I suggest testing the
existing last value or, better yet, define a last value, so if someone
adds or changes the order, nothing breaks.

According to the new ima_appraise "log" mode, commit "2faa6ef ima:
provide 'ima_appraise=log' kernel option", "log" mode permits normal
execution without "fixing" anything.  Normal execution, here, prevents
writing the extended attribute.
