[PATCH v2 04/18] fs/kernel_read_file: Remove FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER enum

Wed Jul 22 15:30:06 EDT 2020
FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER is a "how", not a "what", and confuses the LSMs
that are interested in filtering between types of things. The "how"
should be an internal detail made uninteresting to the LSMs.
Fixes: a098ecd2fa7d ("firmware: support loading into a pre-allocated buffer")
Fixes: fd90bc559bfb ("ima: based on policy verify firmware signatures (pre-allocated buffer)")
Fixes: 4f0496d8ffa3 ("ima: based on policy warn about loading firmware (pre-allocated buffer)")

To aid in backporting, this change is made before moving
kernel_read_file() to separate header/source files.
