Commit 18b44bc5a6 ("ovl: Always reevaluate the file signature for
IMA") forced signature re-evaulation on every file access.
Instead of always re-evaluating the file's integrity, detect a change
to the backing file, by comparing the cached file metadata with the
backing file's metadata. Verifying just the i_version has not changed
is insufficient. In addition save and compare the i_ino and s_dev
as well.
