The name of the local variable "file" of type seq_file defined in the
ima_dump_measurement_list function is too generic. To better reflect the
purpose of the variable, rename it to "ima_kexec_file". This change will 
help improve code readability and maintainability by making the variable's
role more explicit.

The variable ima_kexec_file is indeed the memory allocated for copying IMA
measurement records. The ima_dump_measurement_list function calculates the 
actual memory occupied by the IMA logs and compares it with the allocated 
memory. If there is enough memory, it copies all IMA measurement records; 
otherwise, it does not copy any records, which would result in a failure
of remote attestation.
