[PATCH v6 4/7] ima: kexec: define functions to copy IMA log at soft boot

IMA log is copied to the new Kernel during kexec 'load' using
ima_dump_measurement_list(). The log copy at kexec 'load' may result in
loss of IMA measurements during kexec soft reboot. It needs to be copied
over during kexec 'execute'. Setup the needed infrastructure to move the
IMA log copy from kexec 'load' to 'execute'.

Define a new IMA hook ima_update_kexec_buffer() as a stub function.
It will be used to call ima_dump_measurement_list() during kexec
'execute'.

Implement ima_kexec_post_load() function to be invoked after the new
Kernel image has been loaded for kexec. ima_kexec_post_load() maps the
IMA buffer to a segment in the newly loaded Kernel. It also registers
the reboot notifier_block to trigger ima_update_kexec_buffer() at
exec 'execute'.
