[PATCH] ima: fix deadlock within "ima_match_policy" function.

[liqiong]

When "ima_match_policy" is looping while "ima_update_policy" changs
the variable "ima_rules", then "ima_match_policy" may can't exit
loop, Finally cause RCU CPU Stall Warnings: "rcu_sched detected
stall on CPU ...".

The problem is limited to transitioning from the builtin policy to
the custom policy. Eg. At boot time, systemd-services are being
checked within "ima_match_policy", at the same time, the variable
"ima_rules" is changed by another service.
