Subject: [PATCH v5 09/18] ima: Don't pass xattr value to EVM xattr verification.

The patch implementing modsig support will retry verifying the xattr
signature if the modsig verification fails, and if we have already passed
the modsig as the xattr_value we'll have problems if we pass the xattr sig
in the second call to evm_verifyxattr.

Since this is an optimization and not actually required, just don't do it.
