That's the impetuous for the whole patch series.  I originally did the
ima rework first an the vfs changes second, but decided to push the vfs

It was only wrong in the ifndef !CONFIG_MMU case.  The other error path
which ended up here used it correctly.  In any case, I'll mention it in
the changelog.
