[PATCH 03/10] ima: allocate buffer at kexec load to hold ima measurements

The IMA subsystem needs a dedicated mechanism to reserve extra memory for
measurements added between the kexec 'load' and kexec 'execute'.
Update ima_add_kexec_buffer to allocate a buffer of a sufficient size
taking ima binary runtime measurements size, size of ima_kexec_hdr, and
IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_SIZE into account. Adjust the kexec_segment_size to align
to the PAGE_SIZE. Call ima_allocate_buf_at_kexec_load() to allocate the
buffer.
This patch assumes the extra space defined (IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_SIZE) is
sufficient to handle the additional measurements. This should be as per
the system requirements and based on the number of additional measurements
expected during the window from kexec 'load' to kexec 'execute'.
