Notes about the RHEL-8.2/20190904-37eef91017ad [edk2-stable201908] ->
RHEL-8.3/20200603-ca407c7246bf [edk2-stable202005] rebase:
- new patch
- the patch is being upstreamed; it's not a backport because the rebase
deadline is close
- upstream references:
- https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2785

[downstream note ends, upstream commit message starts]
When an image fails Secure Boot validation, LoadImage() returns
EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION if the platform policy is
DEFER_EXECUTE_ON_SECURITY_VIOLATION.
If the platform policy is DENY_EXECUTE_ON_SECURITY_VIOLATION, then
LoadImage() returns EFI_ACCESS_DENIED (and the image does not remain
loaded).
(Before <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2129>, this
difference would be masked, as DxeImageVerificationLib would incorrectly
return EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION for DENY_EXECUTE_ON_SECURITY_VIOLATION as
well.)
In X86QemuLoadImageLib, proceed to the legacy Linux/x86 Boot Protocol upon
seeing EFI_ACCESS_DENIED too.
