[RFC][PATCH 7/9] evm: make rootfs a special case

[Mimi Zohar]

Both the EVM HMAC and signature xattr formats are file system
specific and can not be copied from one filesystem to another.

EVM differentiates files without any xattrs (INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN)
from those having protected xattrs (INTEGRITY_NOLABEL).  This
patch treats the rootfs filesystem as a special case, returning
INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN.
