during lockdown loading of unsigned modules is restricted to signed
modules only. The old error message does not show which module misses
the signature, making it very difficult for a user to determine which
module is at fault.
This patch adds a line to the logs which additionally contains the
module name that caused the error message. The old message cannot
be replaced as it is generated by lockdown_is_locked_down

Hi!
Actually, I think we can just reuse the pr_notice() from the previous if
(is_module_sig_enforced()) block. It already logs the module name as well as
the reason. And we'd better leave the lockdown-specific messages to the LSM.
Something like this perhaps?
