When EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is set, EVM allows any operation on metadata. Its main purpose is to allow users to freely set metadata when they are protected by a portable signature, until the HMAC key is loaded.

However, IMA is not notified about metadata changes and, after the first successful appraisal, always allows access to the files without checking metadata again.

This patch introduces the new atomic flag EVM_RESET_STATUS in integrity_iint_cache that is set in the EVM post hooks and cleared in evm_verify_hmac(). IMA checks the new flag in process_measurement() and if it is set, it clears the appraisal flags.

Although the flag could be cleared also by evm_inode_setxattr() and evm_inode_setattr() before IMA sees it, this does not happen if EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is set. Since the only remaining caller is evm_verifyxattr(), this ensures that IMA always sees the flag set before it is cleared.

This patch also adds a call to evm_reset_status() in evm_inode_post_setattr() so that EVM won't return the cached status the next time appraisal is performed.
