What patch?

> "ima_verify".  Adding the following line, results in "strmatch: algo
> md_gost12_256,streebog256".  It's trying to match the entire string,

This problem was fixed in "ima-evm-utils: convert sign v2 from RSA to
EVP_PKEY API". This wasn't problem because Streebog should not be
used in sign/verify (which was using RSA). When sign/verify ability for
Streebog is added in "ima-evm-utils: convert sign v2 from RSA to EVP_PKEY
API" sign/verify problem is fixed in the same patch.

But, since I sent new patch which removes strmatch this becomes
somewhat irrelevant.
