Add kernel_pread_file* support to kernel to allow for partial read

Would this change passes the security check like ima?
I thought security_kernel_post_read_file() checks the whole content
for calculating the hash...
It passes the fw_run_tests.sh. How do you test the firmware loader
passes this security check?
What exactly does this ima do? How do you enable/disable using it?
Any reasonable device would check the integrity of the firmware image
being loaded to it.
And, if part of a security model, authenticate the image.
Whatever security check you are referring to is not needed by
request_firmware_into_buf when loading
a partial file into a buffer.
