[PATCH 3/3] ima_fs: Move three error code assignments in ima_write_policy()

[SF Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 22:47:07 +0100

A local variable was set to an error code in three cases before a concrete
error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignments into
if branches to indicate a software failure there.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
