Subject: [PATCH v2] ima: detect changes to the backing overlay file

Commit 18b44bc5a672 ("ovl: Always reevaluate the file signature for
IMA") forced signature re-evaulation on every file access.

Instead of always re-evaluating the file's integrity, detect a change
to the backing file, by comparing the cached file metadata with the
backing file's metadata.  Verifying just the i_version has not changed
is insufficient.  In addition save and compare the i_ino and i_rdev
as well.

Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@...ux.ibm.com>

Changelog:
- Changes made based on Amir's review: removal of unnecessary overlay
magic test, verify i_version, i_ino and i_rdev haven't changed.
