    lockdown: Allow unprivileged users to see lockdown status
    
    A number of userspace tools, such as systemtap, need a way to see the
    current lockdown state so they can gracefully deal with the kernel being
    locked down. The state is already exposed in
    /sys/kernel/security/lockdown, but is only readable by root. Adjust the
    permissions so unprivileged users can read the state.
