[PATCH v6 6/8] IMA: add support to critical data hook to limit data sources for measurement

[Tushar Sugandhi <tusharsu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The IMA hook ima_measure_critical_data() does not support a way to
specify the source of the critical data provider. Thus, the data
measurement cannot be constrained, based on the data source, through the
IMA policy.

Extend the IMA hook ima_measure_critical_data() to support passing 
the data source name as an input parameter, so that the policy rule can
be used to limit data sources being measured.
