For key measurements ima-buf template was required in the policy rule, 
but with the above commit (dea87d0889dd) it was changed to ima-buf. So 
we no longer need to specify the template in the policy.

Even when the key is queued for measurement, ima-buf template will be 
used when the key is dequeued. Not sure if that answers your question.

This is a good point - yes: we should check if no other template other 
than ima-buf is specified in the policy rule for measuring keys.

Sure - will remove that.

"keyrings=" is optional in the policy. If keyrings is specified it 
should be checked.
