[PATCH v5] efi: Do not import certificates from UEFI Secure Boot for T2 Macs

From: Aditya Garg <gargaditya08 at live.com>

On Apple T2 Macs, when Linux reads the db and dbx efi variables to load
UEFI Secure Boot certificates, a page fault occurs in Apple firmware
code and EFI services are disabled with the following logs:

Call Trace:

This also occurs when some other variables are read (see examples below,
there are many more), but only when these variables are read at an early
stage like db and dbx are to load UEFI certs.

KEK-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c

On these Macs, we skip reading the EFI variables for the UEFI certificates.
As a result without certificates, secure boot signature verification fails.
As these Macs have a non-standard implementation of secure boot that only
uses Apple's and Microsoft's keys (users can't add their own), securely
booting Linux was never supported on this hardware, so skipping it
shouldn't cause a regression.
