This LSM enforces that modules must all come from the same filesystem,
with the expectation that such a filesystem is backed by a read-only
device such as dm-verity or CDROM. This allows systems that have a
verified or unchanging filesystem to enforce module loading restrictions
without needing to sign the modules individually.

+ Module loading will be pinned to the first filesystem used for
+ loading. Any modules that come from other filesystems will be
+ rejected. This is best used on systems without an initrd that
+ have a root filesystem backed by a read-only device such as
+ dm-verity or a CDROM.
