Subject: [PATCH 3/4] fs: Remove FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED from kernel_read_file() enums

The "FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED" enum is a "where", not a "what". It
should not be distinguished separately from just "FIRMWARE", as this
confuses the LSMs about what is being loaded. Additionally, there was
no actual validation of the firmware contents happening. Add call to
security_kernel_post_read_file() so the contents can be measured/verified,
just as the firmware sysfs fallback does. This would allow for IMA (or
other LSMs) to validate known-good EFI firmware images.

Fixes: e4c2c0ff00ec ("firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform()")
