[PATCH v2] ima: force signature verification when CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG is configured

Currently, an unsigned kernel could be kexec'ed when IMA arch specific
policy is configured unless lockdown is enabled. Enforce kernel
signature verification check in the kexec_file_load syscall when IMA
arch specific policy is configured.

Fixes: 99d5cadfde2b ("kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE")

v2
 - don't include linux/kexec.h since it's already been included in
   linux/ima.h
 - fix build errors when KEXEC_FILE/KEXEC_CORE is disable as caught by
   kernel test robot <lkp at intel.com>
