ACPI: configfs: Disallow loading ACPI tables when locked down
Like other vectors already patched, this one here allows the root user to load ACPI tables, which enables arbitrary physical address writes, which in turn makes it possible to disable lockdown. Prevents this by checking the lockdown status before allowing a new ACPI table to be installed. The link in the trailer shows a PoC of how this might be used.
