Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] evm: check hash algorithm passed to init_desc()

This patch prevents memory access beyond the evm_tfm array by checking the
validity of the index (hash algorithm) passed to init_desc(). The hash
algorithm can be arbitrarily set if the security.ima xattr type is not
EVM_XATTR_HMAC.

Fixes: 5feeb61183dde ("evm: Allow non-SHA1 digital signatures")
