The IMA subsystem needs to provide a mechanism to suspend or resume measurements. This functionality is needed to temporarily halt the recording of IMA measurements during certain system operations. Add functions ima_measurements_suspend() and ima_measurements_resume() functions to set and reset the suspend_ima_measurements variable, respectively, to suspend/resume IMA measurements. Use ima_extend_list_mutex to ensure that the operations are thread-safe. Note: Use ima_measurements_suspend() and ima_measurements_resume() in pairs to avoid indefinitely suspending IMA measurements.
