kexec/uefi: copy secure_boot flag in boot params across kexec reboot


hulk inclusion
category: bugfix
bugzilla: NA
CVE: CVE-2015-7837

---------------------------

Kexec reboot in case secure boot being enabled does not keep the secure
boot mode in new kernel, so later one can load unsigned kernel via legacy
kexec_load.  In this state, the system is missing the protections provided
by secure boot. Adding a patch to fix this by retain the secure_boot flag
in original kernel.

secure_boot flag in boot_params is set in EFI stub, but kexec bypasses the
stub. Fixing this issue by copying secure_boot flag across kexec reboot.
