[PATCH v2 2/7] ima: move ima_dump_measurement_list call from kexec load to execute

In the current IMA implementation, ima_dump_measurement_list() is called
during the kexec 'load' operation.  This can result in loss of IMA
measurements taken between the 'load' and 'execute' phases when the
system goes through Kexec soft reboot to a new Kernel.  The call to the
function ima_dump_measurement_list() needs to be moved out of the
function ima_add_kexec_buffer() and needs to be called during the kexec
'execute' operation.

Implement a function ima_update_kexec_buffer() that is called during
kexec 'execute', allowing IMA to update the measurement list with the
events between kexec 'load' and 'execute'.  Move the 
ima_dump_measurement_list() call from ima_add_kexec_buffer() to
ima_update_kexec_buffer().  Make ima_kexec_buffer and kexec_segment_size
variables global, so that they can be accessed during both kexec 'load'
and 'execute'.  Add functions ima_measurements_suspend() and
ima_measurements_resume() to set and reset the 'suspend_ima_measurements'
variable respectively, to suspend/resume IMA measurements.  Use
the existing 'ima_extend_list_mutex' to ensure that the operations are
thread-safe.  These function calls will help maintaining the integrity
of the IMA log while it is being copied to the new Kernel's buffer.
Add a reboot notifier_block 'update_buffer_nb' to ensure
the function ima_update_kexec_buffer() gets called during kexec
soft-reboot.
