The issue is the reverse.  CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC may be enabled without
CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC being enabled.  This allows the architecture to
support carrying the measurement list across kexec, but requires
enabling it at build time.

Only if CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC is enabled should any of these functions
be compiled at build.  This allows restoring the previous IMA
measurement list, even if CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is not enabled.

Only if CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is enabled, should carrying the measurement
list across kexec be enabled.  See how arch_ima_add_kexec_buffer,
write_number, setup_ima_buffer are ifdef'ed in
arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c.
