[PATCH v19 05/20] initramfs|security: Add a security hook to do_populate_rootfs()

[Fan Wu <wufan@linux.microsoft.com>]

This patch introduces a new hook to notify security system that the
content of initramfs has been unpacked into the rootfs.

Upon receiving this notification, the security system can activate
a policy to allow only files that originated from the initramfs to
execute or load into kernel during the early stages of booting.

This approach is crucial for minimizing the attack surface by
ensuring that only trusted files from the initramfs are operational
in the critical boot phase.
