Ok, all of the patches are needed and need to be upstreamed. I assume
all of the ones that fix backwards compatibility issues would be termed
"essential fixes for regressions".

47a20c2 ima: do not include field length in template digest calc for ima templat
4c8f4bb ima: do not send field length to userspace for digest of ima template
3eeb2d6 ima: make a copy of template_fmt in template_desc_init_fields()

Could the remaining patches be marked for -stable?
