[PATCH 2/2][SRU][E] UBUNTU: SAUCE: (efi-lockdown) Really don't allow lifting lockdown from userspace

"UBUNTU: SAUCE: (efi-lockdown) Add a SysRq option to lift kernel
lockdown" adds a sysrq key to lift kernel lockdown, which is
meant to only allow a physically present user to lift lockdown
using a keyboard. However, the code has a bug which also allows
root to lift lockdown through /proc/sysrq-trigger. Fix this bug
to make this work as intended.
