It's not because it will then also affect other reads going on at the
same time.

The whole concept of ima is just broken, and if you want to do these
sort of verification they need to happen inside the filesystem and not
above it.

We really should never have merged ima, and I think we should leave
these sorts of issue that have been there since day one unfixed and
deprecate it instead of adding workaround on top of workaround.
