[PATCH 14/16] kexec: Export sysfs attributes for secureboot and secure modules to user space

User space kexec-tools need to know whether to verify signature of kernel
image being loaded. This patch exports two knobs to user space. One is
for knowing if  secureboot is enabled, this knob will be set to 1 if secure
boot is enabled. Other knob is secure_module_enabled. This knob will be set
to 1 if secure modules is one.

kexec-tools will verify signature of kernel image if either secureboot is
enabled or secure modules is enabled. The only difference between two is
that kexec-tools will set secureboot on in bootparams being passed to
second kernel if secureboot is on in first kernel.
