"digets" => "digests"

"LSMs, This" => "LSMs. This"

Wouldn't it be much simpler to put the LSM call in fsverity_verify_signature()?
Then no #ifdef would be needed, and there would be no weird cases where the LSM
gets passed LSM_INT_FSVERITY_BUILTINSIG_VALID with an empty signature.

... and it would also make the above easier to understand if the LSM call were
to happen right in fsverity_verify_signature().
