[PATCH 2/2] efi: print appropriate status message when loading certificates

From: Lee, Chun-Yi
Date: Fri Mar 22 2019 - 06:34:08 EST


When loading certificates list from UEFI variable, the original error
message direct shows the efi status code from UEFI firmware. It looks
ugly:

[ 2.335031] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.335032] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT
[ 2.339985] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.339987] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list

So, this patch shows the status string instead of status code.

On the other hand, the error message of EFI_NOT_FOUND
(0x800000000000000e) doesn't need to be exposed because kernel
already prints "Couldn't get UEFI..." message. This patch also
filtered out it.
