Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ima: don't ignore INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN EVM status

Currently, ima_appraise_measurement() ignores the EVM status when
evm_verifyxattr() returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN. If a file has a valid
security.ima xattr with type IMA_XATTR_DIGEST or IMA_XATTR_DIGEST_NG,
ima_appraise_measurement() returns INTEGRITY_PASS regardless of the EVM
status. The problem is that the EVM status is overwritten with the
appraisal status.

This patch mitigates the issue by selecting signature verification as the
only method allowed for appraisal when EVM is not initialized. Since the
new behavior might break user space, it must be turned on by adding
ima_appraise_req_evm to the kernel command line.

Fixes: 2fe5d6def1672 ("ima: integrity appraisal extension")
