[SRU][J:linux-bluefield][PATCH v1 0/1] mlxbf-bootctl: fails to report info about cards using dev keys

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2045919

SRU Justification:

[Impact]

There is a gap in the mlxbf-bootctl driver logic, resulting in failure to
report when a secure boot enabled card is using development keys. The program
will instead report lifecycle state as "GA Secured" which is misleading.

[Fix]

Bring in the following upstream commit from linux-next:
  "mlxbf-bootctl: correctly identify secure boot with development keys"

[Test Case]

Enable secure boot on a BF3 card that is using development keys
Login as root on BF3
Run the command "mlxbf-bootctl"
Verify that the "lifecycle state" row shows "Secured (development)"

[Regression Potential]

Low risk change, cherry pick of upstream approved commit
