As IMA has particular requirements on the fs (e.g. that it can
read with i_rwsem held as seen in this patch, or useful i_version
which only the file systems converted in this patch do), having
an explicit opt-in seems much safer.  This optional method is
a very easy way to provide this opt-in behavior.
