The EFI root key is not completely secure insecure when the
secure boot is disabled because it can be changed by unsigned EFI
binary before system be handed over to kernel. But in some use
case user does not want the EFI secure key functions be blocked
when secure boot is disabled.
Like the kernel module verification, this patch adds a enforce
kernel configuration option that it can be used to enforce kernel
to checking the secure boot before loading efi root key. And user
can also use kernel parameter to enable it. When this option be
enabled, the EFI root key will not be loaded by kernel when secure
boot is diabled.
Without this option, kernel will be tainted but the EFI root key
can still be loaded.
