Subject: [RFC][PATCH 3/5] fsverity: Do initialization earlier

Perform fsverity initialization with core_initcall(), to ensure that
fsverity is available also very early during the boot process.

More specifically, allow files in the rootfs filesystem (from an initial
ram disk) to be protected with fsverity and be checked with LSMs such as
IPE.
