Take the properties of the kexec kernel's inode and the current task
ownership into consideration when matching a KEXEC_CMDLINE operation to
the rules in the IMA policy. This allows for some uniformity when
writing IMA policy rules for KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK, KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK,
and KEXEC_CMDLINE operations.

Prior to this patch, it was not possible to write a set of rules like
this:

  dont_measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK obj_type=foo_t
  dont_measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK obj_type=foo_t
  dont_measure func=KEXEC_CMDLINE obj_type=foo_t
  measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK
  measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK
  measure func=KEXEC_CMDLINE

The inode information associated with the kernel being loaded by a
kexec_kernel_load(2) syscall can now be included in the decision to
measure or not

Additonally, the uid, euid, and subj_* conditionals can also now be
used in KEXEC_CMDLINE rules. There was no technical reason as to why
those conditionals weren't being considered previously other than
ima_match_rules() didn't have a valid inode to use so it immediately
bailed out for KEXEC_CMDLINE operations rather than going through the
full list of conditional comparisons.

* v2
   - Moved the inode parameter of process_buffer_measurement() to be the
     first parameter so that it more closely matches process_masurement()
