ima: Free IMA measurement buffer after kexec syscall
IMA allocates kernel virtual memory to carry forward the measurement list, from the current kernel to the next kernel on kexec system call, in ima_add_kexec_buffer() function. This buffer is not freed before completing the kexec system call resulting in memory leak. Add ima_buffer field in "struct kimage" to store the virtual address of the buffer allocated for the IMA measurement list. Free the memory allocated for the IMA measurement list in kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() function.
