James, what would your preference be here? Jessica is right that not
having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG enabled means lockdown probably doesn't work
as expected, but tying it to the lockdown LSM seems inappropriate when
another LSM could be providing lockdown policy and run into the same
issue. Should this just be mentioned in the CONFIG_MODULE_SIG Kconfig
help?
