ima: kexec: skip IMA segment validation after kexec soft reboot

Currently, the function kexec_calculate_store_digests() calculates and
stores the digest of the segment during the kexec_file_load syscall,
where the  IMA segment is also allocated.

Later, the IMA segment will be updated with the measurement log at the
kexec execute stage when a kexec reboot is initiated. Therefore, the
digests should be updated for the IMA segment in the  normal case. The
problem is that the content of memory segments carried over to the new
kernel during the kexec systemcall can be changed at kexec 'execute'
stage, but the size and the location of the memory segments cannot be
changed at kexec 'execute' stage.

To address this, skip the calculation and storage of the digest for the
IMA segment in kexec_calculate_store_digests() so that it is not added
to the purgatory_sha_regions.

With this change, the IMA segment is not included in the digest
calculation, storage, and verification.
