Unless the key is being queued, there's no reason to take the lock.

ima_initialized is being set in ima_init(), before a custom policy is
loaded.  I would think that is too early.  ima_update_policy() is
called after loading a custom policy.  Please see how to detect when a
custom policy is loaded.

Measuring the key should be done in ima_post_key_create_or_update()
unless, it is being deferred.  Please update the function name to
reflect this.
