Subject: [PATCH] module support: during lockdown, log name of unsigned module

during lockdown loading of unsigned modules is restricted to signed
modules only. The old error message does not show which module misses
the signature, making it very difficult for a user to determine which
module is at fault.
This patch adds a line to the logs which additionally contains the
module name that caused the error message. The old message cannot
be replaced as it is generated by lockdown_is_locked_down
