* [PATCH] x86/ima: use correct identifier for SetupMode variable

The IMA arch code attempts to inspect the "SetupMode" EFI variable
by populating a variable called efi_SetupMode_name with the string
"SecureBoot" and passing that to the EFI GetVariable service, which
obviously does not yield the expected result.

Given that the string is only referenced a single time, let's get
rid of the intermediate variable, and pass the correct string as
an immediate argument. While at it, do the same for "SecureBoot".

Fixes: 399574c64eaf ("x86/ima: retry detecting secure boot mode")
Fixes: 980ef4d22a95 ("x86/ima: check EFI SetupMode too")

The bug results in get_sb_mode() to always return efi_secureboot_mode_disabled.

I am not too familiar with this code, but it seems get_sb_mode() is only
called when the secure boot state has not been established yet, but I don't
know how likely that is to occur in practice.
