IMA requires have it's hash algorithm to be compiled-in due it's early
use. Default IMA algorithm is protected by Kconfig to be compiled-in.
ima_hash kernel parameter allows to choose hash algorithm. When
specified algorithm not available or available as module, IMA
initialization fails, which leads to kernel panic (mknodat syscall calls
ima_post_path_mknod()). Therefore as fallback we force IMA to use
the default builtin Kconfig hash algorithm.
