[PATCH 2/2][Cosmic] UBUNTU: SAUCE: (efi-lockdown) module: remove support for deferring module signature verification to IMA

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798863

Recent versions of the "secure boot lockdown" patches introduced
support for using IMA signatures for module signing instead of
the standard mechanism. This was causing issues and was removed,
but the code was missed which actually defers the verification to
IMA when IMA enforcement is enabled. With our config this means
that by default module signatures are not being enforced under
kernel lockdown.

Remove the remaining code to restore module signature enforcement
under lockdown.

CVE-2018-18653
