[PATCH v5 08/10] IMA: Added a flag to determine whether IMA hook can process the key now or has to queue for processing later

[Lakshmi Ramasubramanian <nramas@linux.microsoft.com>]

Keys should be processed only if custom IMA policies have been
applied. Prior to that the keys should be queued for processing later.

This patch defines a flag namely ima_process_keys_for_measurement
to check if the key should be processed immediately or should be queued.

ima_policy_flag cannot be relied upon because ima_policy_flag will
be set to 0 when either IMA is not initialized or the IMA policy
itself is empty.
