Both the comment here and the patch description above still needs to be
improved.  Perhaps something along these lines.

Secure boot on Apple Macs with a T2 Security chip cannot read either
the EFI variables or the certificates stored in different db's (e.g.
db, dbx, MokListXRT).  Attempting to read them causes ...   

Avoid reading the EFI variables or the certificates stored in different
dbs.  As a result, without certificates secure boot signature
verification fails.
