[PATCH] platform/x86: think-lmi: Free system certificate signatures

From: Thorsten Blum

Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 16:45:52 EST


Multi-certificate support also allows the system authentication object
to store ->signature and ->save_signature, which leak when the driver is
removed. Free the signatures to avoid leaking memory.
