[PATCH 14/27] ACPI: Limit access to custom_method when the kernel is locked down

[Matthew Garrett]

From: Matthew Garrett <mjg59 at srcf.ucam.org>

custom_method effectively allows arbitrary access to system memory, making
it possible for an attacker to circumvent restrictions on module loading.
Disable it if the kernel is locked down.
