Each time a file in policy, that is already opened for read, is opened
for write a Time-of-Measure-Time-of-Use (ToMToU) integrity violation
audit message is emitted and a violation record is added to the IMA
measurement list, even if a ToMToU violation has already been recorded.
Limit the number of ToMToU integrity violations for an existing file
open for read.
Note: The IMA_MUST_MEASURE atomic flag must be set from the reader side
based on policy. This may result in a per open reader additional ToMToU
violation.
