evm: Load EVM key in ima_load_x509() to avoid appraisal
The public builtin keys do not need to be appraised by IMA as the restriction on the IMA/EVM trusted keyrings ensures that a key can be loaded only if it is signed with a key on the builtin or secondary keyrings. However, when evm_load_x509() is called, appraisal is already enabled and a valid IMA signature must be added to the EVM key to pass verification. Since the restriction is applied on both IMA and EVM trusted keyrings, it is safe to disable appraisal also when the EVM key is loaded. This patch calls evm_load_x509() inside ima_load_x509() if CONFIG_IMA_LOAD_X509 is enabled, which crosses the normal IMA and EVM boundary.
