Having the 'ifndef' is ugly. Thanks for the suggestion on making it
less ugly.

Commit "750943a ima: remove enforce checking duplication" moved the test
to process_measurement().

Because commit "a7f2a36 ima: fallback to MODULE_SIG_ENFORCE for existing
kernel module syscall" never went into linux-security/next, subsequent
patches resulted in this merge conflict.

I'll post an additional patch.

Mimi
