[RFC PATCH v2 2/3] fs: define a firmware security filesystem named fwsecurityfs

securityfs is meant for linux security subsystems to expose policies/logs
or any other information. However, there are various firmware security
features which expose their variables for user management via kernel.
There is currently no single place to expose these variables. Different
platforms use sysfs/platform specific filesystem(efivarfs)/securityfs
interface as find appropriate. Thus, there is a gap in kernel interfaces
to expose variables for security features.

Define a firmware security filesystem (fwsecurityfs) to be used for
exposing variables managed by firmware and to be used by firmware
enabled security features. These variables are platform specific.
Filesystem provides platforms to implement their own underlying
semantics by defining own inode and file operations.

Similar to securityfs, the firmware security filesystem is recommended
to be exposed on a well known mount point /sys/firmware/security.
Platforms can define their own directory or file structure under this path.

Example:

# mount -t fwsecurityfs fwsecurityfs /sys/firmware/security

# cd /sys/firmware/security/
