Subject: [PATCH v11 2/9] ima: define and call ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf()

In the current implementation, the ima_dump_measurement_list() API is 
called during the kexec "load" phase, where a buffer is allocated and 
the measurement records are copied. Due to this, new events added after
kexec load but before kexec execute are not carried over to the new kernel
during kexec operation

To allow the buffer allocation and population to be separated into distinct
steps, make the function local seq_file "ima_kexec_file" to a file variable.

Carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec requires allocating a
buffer and copying the measurement records.  Separate allocating the
buffer and copying the measurement records into separate functions in
order to allocate the buffer at kexec 'load' and copy the measurements
at kexec 'execute'.
