[PATCH v3 6/7] ima: configure memory to log events between kexec load and execute

IMA currently allocates half a PAGE_SIZE for the extra events that would
be measured between kexec 'load' and 'execute'. Depending on the IMA
policy and the system state, that memory may not be sufficient to hold
the extra IMA events measured after kexec 'load'. The memory
requirements vary from system to system and they should be configurable.
Define a Kconfig option, IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_MEMORY_KB, to configure the
extra memory (in kb) to be allocated for IMA measurements added in the
window from kexec 'load' to kexec 'execute'.
Update ima_add_kexec_buffer() function to allocate memory based on the
Kconfig option value, rather than the currently hardcoded one.
