I believe LSM_ID_IMA is the better option, despite "integrity" already
being present in Kconfig and possibly other areas.  "IMA" is a
specific thing/LSM whereas "integrity" is a property, principle, or
quality.  Especially as we move forward with promoting IMA as a full
and proper LSM, we should work towards referring to it as "IMA" and
not "integrity".

If anything we should be working to support "IMA" in places where we
currently have "integrity" so that we can eventually deprecate
"integrity".
