IMA: maintain i_readcount in the VFS layer

ima_counts_get() updated the readcount and invalidated the PCR,
as necessary. Only update the i_readcount in the VFS layer.
Move the PCR invalidation checks to ima_file_check(), where it
belongs.

Maintaining the i_readcount in the VFS layer, will allow other
subsystems to use i_readcount.
