IMA relies on the blocking LSM policy notifier callback to update the
LSM based IMA policy rules.

When SELinux update its policies, IMA would be notified and starts
updating all its lsm rules one-by-one. During this time, -ESTALE would
be returned by ima_filter_rule_match() if it is called with a LSM rule
that has not yet been updated. In ima_match_rules(), -ESTALE is not
handled, and the LSM rule is considered a match, causing extra files
to be measured by IMA.

Fix it by re-initializing a temporary rule if -ESTALE is returned by
ima_filter_rule_match(). The origin rule in the rule list would be
updated by the LSM policy notifier callback.

Fixes: b16942455193 ("ima: use the lsm policy update notifier")

Re-using rule here

and here doesn't look right.

Shouldn't freeing the memory be immediately after the retry? 
Otherwise, only the last instance of processing -ESTALE would be freed.

I'll use another variable here.

What seems to be wrong here? ima_lsm_copy_rule() returns a shallow copy 
of the rule, and NULL if the copy fails. Only if the returned rule is 
not NULL should we proceed with the retry. I used rule_reinitialized to 
memorize whether the current rule is copied so that we should free it 
later on.

ima_lsm_copy_rule() would update every member of rule->lsm, and the 
retry is within the for loop on members of rule->lsm. We'd better keep 
the copied rule till the loop ends. To avoid race condition if the LSM 
rule has been updated again during the loop, I can add a guard here.
