[SECURITY PATCH 004/117] kern/lockdown: Set a variable if the GRUB is locked down

[Daniel Kiper]

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com>

It may be useful for scripts to determine whether the GRUB is locked
down or not. Add the lockdown variable which is set to "y" when the GRUB
is locked down.
