[dm-devel] [PATCH 4/6] dm ima: add a warning in dm_init if duplicate ima events are not measured

The end-users of DM devices/targets may remove and re-create the same
device multiple times. IMA does not measure such duplicate events if the
configuration CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is set to 'n'.
To avoid confusion, the end-users need some indication on the client
if that configuration option is disabled.
Add a one-time warning to dmesg during dm_init if
CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is set to 'n', to notify the end-users that
duplicate events will not be measured in the ima log.
