evm: prohibit userspace writing 'security.evm' HMAC value
commit 2fb1c9a4f2dbc2f0bd2431c7fa64d0b5483864e4 upstream.
Calculating the 'security.evm' HMAC value requires access to the
EVM encrypted key. Only the kernel should have access to it. This
patch prevents userspace tools(eg. setfattr, cp --preserve=xattr)
from setting/modifying the 'security.evm' HMAC value directly.
