[PATCH] kernel_lockdown.7: Remove description of lifting via SysRq (not upstream)

From: dann frazier
Date: Wed May 26 2021 - 13:35:07 EST


The patch that implemented lockdown lifting via SysRq ended up getting
dropped[*] before the feature was merged upstream. Having the feature
documented but unsupported has caused some confusion for our users.
