[PATCH v5 6/8] ima: suspend measurements during buffer copy at kexec execute

New measurements added to the IMA log while the log is being copied
during the kexec 'execute' may not get copied over. This can cause the
measurement log to be out of sync with the TPM PCRs that IMA extends,
which could result in breaking the integrity of the measurements after
kexec soft reboot.
Implement and call the functions ima_measurements_suspend() and
ima_measurements_resume() from ima_update_kexec_buffer().
Add a check in the ima_add_template_entry() function not to measure
events when 'suspend_ima_measurements' flag is set.
This ensures the integrity of the IMA log while it is being copied over
to the new Kernel during kexec 'execute'.
