scsi: Lock down the eata driver

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image.  Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.

The eata driver takes a single string parameter that contains a slew of
settings, including hardware resource configuration.  Prohibit use of the
parameter if the kernel is locked down.
