LoadPin: Allow filesystem switch when not enforcing
For LoadPin to be used at all in a classic distro environment, it needs to allow for switching filesystems (from the initramfs to the "real" root filesystem). To allow for this, if the "enforce" mode is not set at boot, reset the pinned filesystem tracking when the pinned filesystem gets unmounted instead of invalidating further loads. Once enforcement is set, it cannot be unset, and the pinning will stick. This means that distros can build with CONFIG_SECURITY_LOADPIN=y, but with CONFIG_SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE disabled, but after boot is running, the system can enable enforcement: $ sysctl -w kernel.loadpin.enforced=1 Cc: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "Serge E.
