>From what I understood of the code func comes from ima_parse_rule, so that 
condition would only happen if ima_parse_rule got out of sync with 
func_tokens. Since that code only initializes func with constants from enum 
ima_hooks and this patch makes ima_hooks automatically sync with func_tokens, 
the else branch is more like a "can't happen" safety net.

read_idmap is only used in ima_post_read_file, and I couldn't see a relation 
between that code path and the one for ima_policy_show.
