Commit 52ba0e0b ("ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by
ima_filter_rule_match()") introduced call to ima_lsm_copy_rule within a
RCU read-side critical section which contains kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
This implies a possible sleep and violates limitations of RCU read-side
critical sections on non-PREEMPT systems.

Sleeping within RCU read-side critical section might cause
synchronize_rcu() returning early and break RCU protection, allowing a
UAF to happen.

The root cause of this issue could be described as follows:
|       Thread A        |       Thread B        |
|                       |ima_match_policy       |
|                       |  rcu_read_lock        |
|ima_lsm_update_rule    |                       |
|  synchronize_rcu      |                       |
|                       |    kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)|
|                       |      sleep            |
==> synchronize_rcu returns early
|  kfree(entry)         |                       |
|                       |    entry = entry->next|
==> UAF happens and entry now becomes NULL (or could be anything).
|                       |    entry->action      |
==> Accessing entry might cause panic.

To fix this issue, we are converting all kmalloc that is called within
RCU read-side critical section to use GFP_ATOMIC.
