Subject: [PATCHv3 6/6] evm: reset EVM status when file attributes changes

EVM verification status is cached in iint->evm_status
and if it was successful, never re-verified again when
IMA passes 'iint' to evm_verifyxattr().

When file attribute or extended attributes changes we may
wish to re-verify EVM integrity as well. For example,
after setting digital signature we may need to re-verify
the signature and update iint->flags that there is EVM
signature.

This patch enables that by resetting evm_status to
INTEGRITY_UKNOWN state.

Changes in v2:
* Flag setting moved to EVM layer
