Subject: [PATCH 08/27] kexec_file: Restrict at runtime if the kernel is locked down

From: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@...e.cz>

When KEXEC_SIG is not enabled, kernel should not load images through
kexec_file systemcall if the kernel is locked down unless IMA can be used
to validate the image.

[Modified by David Howells to fit with modifications to the previous patch
 and to return -EPERM if the kernel is locked down for consistency with
 other lockdowns]
