[PATCH 2/4] 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 the kernel.
There is currently no single place to expose these variables. Different
platforms use sysfs/platform specific filesystem(efivarfs)/securityfs
interface as they find it appropriate. Thus, there is a gap in kernel
interfaces to expose variables for security features.
Define a firmware security filesystem (fwsecurityfs) to be used by
security features enabled by the firmware. These variables are platform
specific. This filesystem provides platforms a way 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/

+ This will build fwsecurityfs filesystem which should be mounted
+ on /sys/firmware/security. This filesystem can be used by
+ platform to expose firmware-managed variables.
+
+ If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
