[PATCH v5 3/8] ima: kexec: skip IMA segment validation after kexec soft reboot

kexec_calculate_store_digests() calculates and stores the digest of the
segment at kexec_file_load syscall where the IMA segment is also
allocated.  With this series, the IMA segment will be updated with the
measurement log at kexec soft reboot.  Therefore, it may fail digest
verification in verify_sha256_digest() after kexec soft reboot into the
new Kernel.  Therefore, the digest calculation, storage, and
verification of the IMA segment needs to be skipped.

Skip IMA segment from calculating and storing digest in function
kexec_calculate_store_digests() so that it is not added to the
'purgatory_sha_regions'.

Since verify_sha256_digest() only verifies 'purgatory_sha_regions',
no change is needed in verify_sha256_digest() in this context.

With this change, the IMA segment is not included in the digest
calculation, storage, and verification.
