ima: Directly assign the ima_default_policy pointer to ima_rules

This patch prevents the following oops:

[   10.771813] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000

It occurs when there is a failure during IMA initialization, and
ima_init_policy() is not called. IMA hooks still call ima_match_policy()
but ima_rules is NULL. This patch prevents the crash by directly assigning
the ima_default_policy pointer to ima_rules when ima_rules is defined. This
wouldn't alter the existing behavior, as ima_rules is always set at the end
of ima_init_policy().
