Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Restrict file access on cryptodisk print

When the encrypted partition is automatically unlocked by TPM, granting
access to the system upon validation of its known good state, there's a
potential vulnerability. Grub gains access to file systems that were
previously inaccessible to the public, enabling certain commands from
the grub console to print content. This arises due to grub lacking
restrictions similar to those imposed by password authentication, which
typically occurs before privileged access is granted.

Although the automatic unlocking process ensures system integrity and a
secure environment for grub to operate in, it doesn't directly address
the issue of authentication for viewing encrypted partition content.

This commit addresses this security loophole by implementing a file
filter upon adding a TPM key. The newly added file filter will
specifically verify if the disk is encrypted, denying access and
returning an "Access Denied: prohibited to view encrypted data" error
message to alert the user.

Since the policy to filter out unwanted commands from leaking encrypted
content is irreversible, it is advisable to make the loaded module
persistent to prevent its removal.

This enhancement aims to bolster security measures and prevent
unauthorized access to encrypted data.
