[Patch 5/7] integrity: mtime patch for mmap files

[Mimi Zohar]

mmaped files are hashed and hmac'ed properly by EVM after being modified
when the file's mtime is updated correctly.  Peter Staubach's 'memory
mapped files not updating timestamps v2' patch properly updates the
mmapped file's mtime.  In those cases when an application does not
first msync the file before calling munmap, the mtime is eventually
updated, but not before file_close is called.  This patch forces the
mtime for mmaped files to be updated in a timely manner.
