ima: don't measure/appraise files on configfs

IMA measurement of a configfs file causes process_measurement() to hold
iint->mutex while performing a kernel_read() to hash it, which re-enters
configfs's own file locking (buffer->mutex, frag_sem).

Separately, opening any file with O_TRUNC now causes ima_file_truncate()
to take iint->mutex to reset the cached action flags, while sb_writers is
already held for that mount.

When a configfs-backed nvmet namespace is involved, these two independent
lock chains combine into a cycle:

iint->mutex -> configfs locks -> subsys->lock -> sb_writers -> iint->mutex

Add configfs to the builtin don't measure/appraise rules, similarly to
other pseudo file systems, so IMA never takes iint->mutex for configfs
file in the first place.
