We currently check the MokSBState variable to decide whether we should treat UEFI secure boot as being disabled, even if the firmware thinks otherwise. This is used by shim to indicate that it is not checking signatures on boot images. In the kernel, we use this to relax lockdown policies. However, in cases where shim is not even being used, we don't want this variable to interfere with lockdown, given that the variable is non-volatile variable and therefore persists across a reboot. This means setting it once will persistently disable lockdown checks on a given system. So switch to the mirrored version of this variable, called MokSBStateRT, which is supposed to be volatile, and this is something we can check.
