IMA log entries can be lost due to a variety of causes, such as code bugs
or error conditions, leading to a mismatch between TPM PCRs and
the IMA log. Measuring TPM PCR update counter during ima_init would
provide a baseline counter for the number of times the TPM PCRs are
updated. The remote attestation service can compare this baseline
counter with a subsequent measured one (e.g., post-kexec soft-boot) to
identify if there are any lost IMA log events.
Measure the TPM update counter at ima init.
