ima: Check against blacklisted hashes for files with modsig

Asymmetric private keys are used to sign multiple files. The kernel
currently supports checking against blacklisted keys. However, if the
public key is blacklisted, any file signed by the blacklisted key will
automatically fail signature verification. Blacklisting the public key
is not fine enough granularity, as we might want to only blacklist a
particular file.

This patch adds support for checking against the blacklisted hash of
the file, without the appended signature, based on the IMA policy. It
defines a new policy option "appraise_flag=check_blacklist".

In addition to the blacklisted binary hashes stored in the firmware
"dbx" variable, the Linux kernel may be configured to load blacklisted
binary hashes onto the .blacklist keyring as well. The following
example shows how to blacklist a specific kernel module hash.

  $ sha256sum kernel/kheaders.ko
  77fa889b35a05338ec52e51591c1b89d4c8d1c99a21251d7c22b1a8642a6bad3
  kernel/kheaders.ko

  $ grep BLACKLIST .config
  CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING=y
  CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST="blacklist-hash-list"

  $ cat certs/blacklist-hash-list
  "bin:77fa889b35a05338ec52e51591c1b89d4c8d1c99a21251d7c22b1a8642a6bad3"

Update the IMA custom measurement and appraisal policy
rules (/etc/ima-policy):

  measure func=MODULE_CHECK template=ima-modsig
  appraise func=MODULE_CHECK appraise_flag=check_blacklist
  appraise_type=imasig|modsig

After building, installing, and rebooting the kernel:

   545660333 ---lswrv      0     0   \_ blacklist:
  bin:77fa889b35a05338ec52e51591c1b89d4c8d1c99a21251d7c22b1a8642a6bad3

  measure func=MODULE_CHECK template=ima-modsig
  appraise func=MODULE_CHECK appraise_flag=check_blacklist
  appraise_type=imasig|modsig
