Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Module loading error handling improvements

This series addresses several issues related to module loading error
handling, particularly around force loading and signature verification.

The most critical fix is in patch 1, which resolves a bug where signed
modules were incorrectly rejected when loaded with the -f flag (force
load).

The others improve the user experience when troubleshooting
module loading issues while maintaining the security guarantees of
module signing.

Jinchao Wang (5):
  module: Fix module_sig_check() for modules with ignored modversions/vermagic
  module: signing: Use pr_err for signature rejection
  module: show why force load fails
  module: centralize no-versions force load check
  module: separate vermagic and livepatch checks
