IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM has been marked as dependent on !IMA_ARCH_POLICY in
compile time, enforcing the appraisal whenever the kernel had the arch
policy option enabled.
However it breaks systems where the option is actually set but the system
wasn't booted in a "secure boot" platform. In this scenario, anytime an
appraisal policy (i.e. ima_policy=appraisal_tcb) is used it will be forced,
giving no chance to the user set the 'fix' state (ima_appraise=fix) to
actually measure system's files.
This patch remove this compile time dependency and move it to a runtime
decision: all architecture that supports it so far (powerpc, x86 and s390)
only enable such specific policies if the secure/trusted boot is actually
enabled in the platform, thus the IMA_APPRAISE_ENFORCE flag is set whenever
the secure/trusted boot state is met, otherwise the kernel paramenter value
passed is used.
