[PATCH 2/2 v2] efi: print appropriate status message when loading certificates

From: Lee, Chun-Yi
Date: Sat Mar 23 2019 - 20:26:51 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 "Couldn't get UEFI" message doesn't need
to be exposed when db/dbx/mok variable do not exist. So, this
patch set the message level to debug.

v2.
Setting the MODSIGN messagse level to debug.
