The security.ima extended attribute may be copied when it contains

i'm not sure hardcoding specific attributes in the C code like this
is a good idea. can't we leverage the existing conf file ?
Should we add an option to not display an error? Like 'quiet' ?
that's already possible by not passing in an error context.
but that's not what i meant. we already have xattr.conf that
explicitly lists attributes and whether we should skip them.
can't we leverage that database in these files and have it
(silently) skip attributes when they're listed as "skip" ?
