[PATCH 5/5] LSM: Define workqueue for measuring security module state

[Lakshmi Ramasubramanian <nramas@linux.microsoft.com>]

The data maintained by the security modules could be tampered with by
malware. The LSM needs to periodically query the state of
the security modules and measure the data when the state is changed.

Define a workqueue for handling this periodic query and measurement.
