keys queued for measurement should still be processed even if
a custom IMA policy was not loaded. Otherwise, the keys will
remain queued forever consuming kernel memory.
This patch defines a timer to handle the above scenario. The timer
is setup to expire 5 minutes after IMA initialization is completed.
If a custom IMA policy is loaded before the timer expires, the timer
is removed and any queued keys are processed for measurement.
But if a custom policy was not loaded, on timer expiration
any queued keys are just freed.
