[PATCH v4 3/3] powerpc: Add support to initialize ima policy rules

PowerNV secure boot relies on the kernel IMA security subsystem to
perform the OS kernel image signature verification. Since each secure
boot mode has different IMA policy requirements, dynamic definition of
the policy rules based on the runtime secure boot mode of the system is
required. On systems that support secure boot, but have it disabled,
only measurement policy rules of the kernel image and modules are
defined.

This patch defines the arch-specific implementation to retrieve the
secure boot mode of the system and accordingly configures the IMA policy
rules.

This patch provides arch-specific IMA policies if PPC_SECURE_BOOT
config is enabled.
