This should be defined as static.  update_buffer_nb should be prefixed with
'ima_'.

In ima_alloc_kexec_file_buf(), the buffer is only re-allocated if the size
changes.  Here there doesn't seem to be way of detecting a size change.  At
least, add a comment here indicating that kexec 'load' may be called multiple
times.
