Please split this patch into "ima: pass through ima namespace", or some
other name,  and "ima: Move policy related variables into
ima_namespace".  The other option is to combine the "pass through ima
namespace" with the 2nd patch, like Christian's example.

Thank you for adding comments.  Why is the ima_default_rules not
considered "ns's policy rules"?   Will this come later or is it limited
to init_ima_ns?

Since "Pointer to ns's current policy" only refers to ima_rules, append
it to the variable definition.

Similarly here append the comment to the variable definition.
