[Bug 1931171] [NEW] kernel_lockdown(7) describes removed SysRq for lifting lockdown

[dann frazier]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]
Documentation tells users they can lift lockdown locally via a SysRq, when in fact we do not support this (confirmed w/ @sforshee on kernel team).

[Test Case]
man kernel_lockdown - look for documentation of the SysRq feature.

[Fix]
https://github.com/alejandro-colomar/man-pages/commit/09df87e9ee3e1a429a2c1709dfd16ec8ff0f616

[Where Problems Could Occur]
The only potential problem I can see is the corner case risk there is with any update - maybe the build environment has changed in some way that introduces a regression elsewhere in the package? /me waves hands.
