The enum value "NONE" is being passed to process_buffer_measurement to 
indicate that the check for required action based on ima policy is 
already done by ima_check_blacklist. Not sure, but this can cause 
confusion in the future when someone updates process_buffer_measurement.

Would it instead be better to add another parameter to 
process_buffer_measurement to indicate the above condition?
