Require signed kernel modules on systems with secure boot mode enabled.

To coordinate between appended kernel module signatures and IMA
signatures, only define an IMA MODULE_CHECK policy rule if
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is not enabled.

This patch defines a function named set_module_sig_required() and renames
is_module_sig_enforced() to is_module_sig_enforced_or_required().  The
call to set_module_sig_required() is dependent on CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY
being enabled.

With respect to interactions with the kernel lockdown patches, this
looks better than the patches I saw previously. I don't feel like I know
enough about what's going on with IMA to ack the patch, but I feel
confident that it's at least not going to break signature enforcement
for us.
Thank you for testing!  Could this be translated into a "tested-by"
"(for w/lockdown patches)"?
Yeah, that's fine. To be clear about what I tested, I've confirmed that
it doesn't interfere with requiring signed modules under lockdown with
CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY=n and IMA appraisal enabled.

Oh!  You've disabled the coordination of the two signature
verification methods.  Any chance you could test with
"CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY" enabled?
