Subject: [PATCH v6] ima: move APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM dependency on ARCH_POLICY to runtime

The IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM config allows enabling different "ima_appraise="
modes - log, fix, enforce - at run time, but not when IMA architecture
specific policies are enabled.  This prevents properly labeling the
filesystem on systems where secure boot is supported, but not enabled on the
platform.  Only when secure boot is actually enabled should these IMA
appraise modes be disabled.

This patch removes the compile time dependency and makes it a runtime
decision, based on the secure boot state of that platform.

Test results as follows:

-> x86-64 with secure boot enabled

[    0.015637] Kernel command line: <...> ima_policy=appraise_tcb ima_appraise=fix
[    0.015668] ima: Secure boot enabled: ignoring ima_appraise=fix boot parameter option

-> powerpc with secure boot disabled

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: <...> ima_policy=appraise_tcb ima_appraise=fix
[    0.000000] Secure boot mode disabled

-> Running the system without secure boot and with both options set:

CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM=y
CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY=y

Audit prompts "missing-hash" but still allow execution and, consequently,
filesystem labeling:

---
v6:
  - explictly print the bootparam being ignored to the user (Mimi)
v5:
  - add pr_info() to inform user the ima_appraise= boot param is being
	ignored due to secure boot enabled (Nayna)
  - add some testing results to commit log
v4:
  - instead of change arch_policy loading code, check secure boot state at
	"ima_appraise=" parameter handler (Mimi)
v3:
  - extend secure boot arch checker to also consider trusted boot
  - enforce IMA appraisal when secure boot is effectively enabled (Nayna)
  - fix ima_appraise flag assignment by or'ing it (Mimi)
v2:
  - pr_info() message prefix correction
