Basicaly because the way kmod handles compressed (gz/xz) modules. The
way it's today would require major changes in the code or some kind of
memfd_create() + xattrs reassignement in order to finit_module() be used
correctly.
Considering it would take some time to be accepted or even to figure out
the correct way to tackle it, the current IMA module check code works
aside kernel module signature validation, which is fine for now for me,
but has the problem that this patch tries to solve in the
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE check (ignoring module.sig_enforce cmdline
param).
