Enable support for signing kernel modules for the GPFS portability layer

We need a way to have GPFS client code to support signing the GPFS portability layer kernel modules so it is possible to run with secureboot enabled. In the FAQ it is listed to be disabled or handled manualy. We would request that the Spectrum Scale software handle the signing according to the guides in RHEL documentation.
