Already commented on the patch description.  Some additional minor
comments below.

No need to break up the assignments like this.  Neither line when
joined is greater than 80 bytes.

"rc" was initialized in the declaration.

No need to initialize ima_measure_key_entry here, as the first
statement sets it.

If we're ignoring failure to allocate memory, why not just return?

Parenthesis not needed.

No need to break up this line either.  The joined line is not greater
than 80 bytes.
