ima: fallback to using i_version to detect file change

Commit db1d1e8b98 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get the i_version")
replaced detecting file change based on i_version with
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE.

On filesystems without STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE enabled, revert back to
detecting file change based on i_version.

On filesystems which do not support either, assume the file changed.
