Makes sense.

The original code, without any extra tests, should be fine.

Right, it is just an optimization.  The evm xattr needs to be verified
just once.

The file hash (without the appended signature) is already being
calculated by verify_pkcs7_message_sig().  There's no reason to
calculate it twice.

If the appended signature verification succeeds, that means the file
hash stored in the appended signature was valid.  Somehow we need
access to sig->digest, sig->digest_size and sig->hash_algo, which was
compared against the calculated hash.  Refer to
public_key_verify_signature().
