[PATCH 2/3] kexec: call LSM hook for kexec_load syscall

[Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

In order for LSMs and IMA-appraisal to differentiate between the
kexec_load and kexec_file_load_syscalls, an LSM call needs to be added
to the original kexec_load syscall.  From a technical perspective there
is no need for defining a new LSM hook, as the existing
security_kernel_kexec_load() works just fine.  However, the name is
confusing.  For this reason, instead of defining a new LSM hook, this
patch defines security_kexec_load() as a wrapper for the existing LSM
security_kernel_file_read() hook.

Changelog v1:
- Define and call security_kexec_load(), a wrapper for
security_kernel_read_file().
