[PULL REQUEST] Lock down patches

Hi James,

David is low on cycles at the moment, so I'm taking over for this time
round. This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel. When
enabled and active (by enabling the config option and passing the
"lockdown" option on the kernel command line), various pieces of
kernel functionality are restricted. Applications that rely on
low-level access to either hardware or the kernel may cease working as
a result - therefore this should not be enabled without appropriate
evaluation beforehand.

The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
unified upstream implementation to reduce the delta. This PR probably
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.

This PR is mostly the same as the previous attempt, but with the
following changes:

1) The integration between EFI secure boot and the lockdown state has
been removed
2) A new CONFIG_KERNEL_LOCK_DOWN_FORCE kconfig option has been added,
which will always enable lockdown regardless of the kernel command
line
3) The integration with IMA has been dropped for now. Requiring the
use of the IMA secure boot policy when lockdown is enabled isn't
practical for most distributions at the moment, as there's still not a
great deal of infrastructure for shipping packages with appropriate
IMA signatures, and it makes it complicated for end users to manage
custom IMA policies.
