As much as possible, let's not define additional
ima_measure_critical_data() arguments.  Probably the only new variable
really need is "digest".  The hash algorithm doesn't change.  How about
defining and exporting a new function to return the system defined
ima_hash_algo.  In terms of failure, have ima_measure_critical_data()
return errno.

thanks,

Mimi
