[PATCH] acpi: disallow loading configfs acpi tables when locked down

["Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@zx2c4.com>]

Like other vectors already patched, this one here allows the root user
to load ACPI tables, which enables arbitrary physical address writes,
which in turn makes it possible to disable lockdown. This patch prevents
this by checking the lockdown status before allowing a new ACPI table to be
installed. The link in the trailer shows a PoC of how this might be
used.
