What prevents unauthorized changes to the NV index used by
systemd-pcrlock?  Is the secret key itself stored in the NV index, with
the policy deciding who can read the key?  Or does the policy on the NV
index require that the policy established by systemd-pcrlock is itself
satisfied before the NV index can be changed?  In the latter case, does
this mean that the index can be "leaked" in certain error conditions?
