This is a preparatory patch for kexec lockdown. A locked down kernel needs to
prevent unsigned kernel images to be loaded with kexec_file_load. Currently,
the only way to force the signature verification is compiling with
KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. This prevents loading usigned images even when the kernel is
not locked down at runtime.
This patch spilts KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE.
Analogous to the MODULE_SIG and MODULE_SIG_FORCE for modules, KEXEC_SIG turns
on the signature verification but allows unsigned images to be loaded.
KEXEC_SIG_FORCE disallows images without a valid signature.
