Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On some systems, Mok variables mirrored are accidentally deleted after the 
mirroring. This can prevent the kernel from loading DKMS modules, if it does 
not yet use the config table to parse the MokList variable; and userspace tools 
relying on the variables will have wrong results.

  Most implementations reject the accidental delete, as the flags do not
  match, this bug was produced on VMWare.

  [Test plan]
  If we can get a VMWare Workstation or Player license, it would be good to 
validate that. Without a license, the best we can do is ensure there are no 
regressions on other machines and rely on the authors of the patch (SUSE) to 
have tested this properly.

  [Where problems could occur]
  We could accidentally delete the variable on other systems now.
