Add kernel_pread_file* support to kernel to allow for partial read of files with an offset into the file. Existing kernel_read_file functions call new kernel_pread_file functions with offset=0 and flags=KERNEL_PREAD_FLAG_WHOLE.

Would this change passes the security check like ima? I thought security_kernel_post_read_file() checks the whole content for calculating the hash...

thanks,
