Subject: [PATCH] ima: Fix potential NULL pointer access in ima_match_rules()

In ima_match_rules(), when ima_lsm_copy_rule() fails, NULL pointer
is assigned to lsm_rule. After that, in the next step of the loop
NULL pointer is dereferenced in lsm_rule->lsm[i].rule.

As far as ima_match_rules() is not designed to return error code,
add __GFP_NOFAIL to make sure memory allocation succeeds.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: c7423dbdbc9e ("ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by ima_filter_rule_match()")
