Subject[PATCH v3 08/12] ima: Shallow copy the args_p member of ima_rule_entry.lsm elements
Date
The args_p member is a simple string that is allocated by
ima_rule_init(). Shallow copy it like other non-LSM references in
ima_rule_entry structs.

There are no longer any necessary error path cleanups to do in
ima_lsm_copy_rule().

* v3
- No change
* v2
- Adjusted context to account for ima_lsm_copy_rule() directly calling
ima_lsm_free_rule() and the lack of explicit reference ownership
transfers
- Added comment to ima_lsm_copy_rule() to document the args_p
reference ownership transfer
