Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] LoadPin: Enable loading from trusted dm-verity devices

Extend LoadPin to allow loading of kernel files from trusted
dm-verity [1] devices.

This change adds the concept of trusted verity devices to
LoadPin. Userspace can use the new systl file
'loadpin/trusted_verity_root_digests_path' to provide
LoadPin with the path of a file with a list of root digests
from dm-verity devices that LoadPin should consider as
trusted. This file must be located on the pinned root.

When a kernel file is read LoadPin first checks
(as usual) whether the file is located on the pinned root,
if so the file can be loaded. Otherwise, if the verity
extension is enabled, LoadPin determines whether the
file is located on a verity backed device and whether
the root digest of that device is in the list of trusted
digests. The file can be loaded if the verity device has
a trusted root digest.

The path of the file with the trusted root digests can
only be written once, which is typically done at boot time.

Background:

As of now LoadPin restricts loading of kernel files to a single
pinned filesystem, typically the rootfs. This works for many
systems, however it can result in a bloated rootfs (and OTA
updates) on platforms where multiple boards with different
hardware configurations use the same rootfs image. Especially
when 'optional' files are large it may be preferable to
download/install them only when they are actually needed by a
given board. Chrome OS uses Downloadable Content (DLC) [2] to
deploy certain 'packages' at runtime. As an example a DLC
package could contain firmware for a peripheral that is not
present on all boards. DLCs use dm-verity to verify the
integrity of the DLC content.

I'm still doubting what would be the best way to configure
the list of trusted digests. The approach in v2 of writing
a path through sysctl is flexible, but it also feels a bit
odd. I did some experiments with passing a file descriptor
through sysctl, but it's also odd and has its own issues.
Passing the list through a kernel parameter seems hacky.
A Kconfig string would work, but can be have issues when
the same config is used for different platforms, where
some may have trusted digests and others not.

Changes in v2:
- userspace now passes the path of the file with the verity digests
  via systcl, instead of the digests themselves
- renamed sysctl file to 'trusted_verity_root_digests_path'
- have CONFIG_SECURITY_LOADPIN_VERITY depend on CONFIG_SYSCTL
- updated Kconfig doc
- updated commit message
