Sorry for the slow reviews; I'm taking a look again now.  One question about
something I missed earlier: is the file guaranteed to have been opened before
this is called?  fsverity_get_info() only returns a non-NULL value if the file
has been opened at least once since the inode has been loaded into memory.  If
the inode has just been loaded into memory without being opened, for example due
to a call to stat(), then fsverity_get_info() will return NULL.

If the file is guaranteed to have been opened, then the code is fine, but the
comment for fsverity_get_digest() perhaps should be updated to mention this
assumption, given that it takes a struct inode rather than a struct file.

If the file is *not* guaranteed to have been opened, then it would be necessary
to make fsverity_get_digest() call ensure_verity_info() to set up the
fsverity_info.
