ima: check xattr value length and type in the ima_inode_setxattr()



ima_inode_setxattr() can be called with no value. Function does not
check the length so that following command can be used to produce
kernel oops: setfattr -n security.ima FOO. This patch fixes it.

Changes in v3:
* for stable reverted "allow setting hash only in fix or log mode"
  It will be a separate patch.

Changes in v2:
* testing validity of xattr type
* allow setting hash only in fix or log mode (Mimi)
