[PATCH V31 25/25] debugfs: Disable open() when kernel is locked down

From: Matthew Garrett <mjg59 at google.com>

debugfs has not been meaningfully audited in terms of ensuring that
userland cannot trample over the kernel. At Greg's request, disable
access to it entirely when the kernel is locked down. This is done at
open() time rather than init time as the kernel lockdown status may be
made stricter at runtime.
