My main concern with separating the enumeration from the string
definition is that they might become out of sync.  Perhaps using
macros, similar to those used for kernel_read_file_id_str(), would be
better?

At least, add a comment here and near the ima_hooks enumeration to
prevent them from becoming out of sync.
