[LTP] [PATCH] ima_violations.sh: Another fix of condition evaluation

c0c35509f9 was not enough to fix evaluation against empty
$expected_violations:

ima_violations 1 TINFO: verify open writers violation
/opt/ltp/testcases/bin/ima_violations.sh: line 96: [: 0: unary operator expected

Therefore split checks into two if.

Also improvements (readability)
* shorten line length with saving subtraction into variable
* evaluate empty variable with ${:-}

Fixes: 726ed71905 ("ima_violations.sh: Update validate() to support multiple violations")

NOTE: this was found on old SLES 4.4 based kernel which does not log
validations. But missing validations might be just a Secure Boot related
setup problem:

$ mokutil --sb-state
Secure Boot: EFI variables not supported on SUT

Events are logged when Secure Boot is off:
$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled

Or maybe violations worked differently on the old kernel (I remember
only 6.15 change).

Kind regards,
Petr
