[PATCH v6 10/10] ima: platform-independent hash value

From: Andreas Steffen <andreas.steffen at strongswan.org>

For remote attestion it is important for the ima measurement values
to be platform-independent. Therefore integer fields to be hashed
must be converted to canonical format.

Changelog:
- Define canonical format as little endian (Mimi)
