Reviewed, test-built and tested the debugfs access policy. All good in
general.

I was wondering if we should add a "lockdown" kernel boot parameter,
like we have in bionic, that would enable lockdown by calling
enforce_signed_modules(), but I guess it's not needed, because (somehow)
the boot-loader is already able to enforce the kernel lockdown even
without this option.

Apart from this comment and the one about debugfs (see my previous
email), everything else looks good to me, therefore:
