Error "The conditional check ''nosuid' not in home_mount.options' failed" in fix-cat2.yml. Easy code fix.

[erosen03]

Lines 2043 and 2056 of fix-cat2.yml appear to have improper condition statements that cause the following error:

TASK [/etc/ansible/roles/ansible-lockdown/RHEL7-STIG : MEDIUM | RHEL-07-021010 | AUDIT | The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must prevent files with the setuid and setgid bit set from being executed on file systems that are used with removable media.] *** 2024-01-03 00:43:09 fatal: [x.x.x.20]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check ''nosuid' not in home_mount.options' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional ('nosuid' not in home_mount.options): 'home_mount' is undefined. 'home_mount' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/roles/ansible-lockdown/RHEL7-STIG/tasks/fix-cat2.yml': line 2045, column 9, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: \"MEDIUM | RHEL-07-021010 | AUDIT | The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must prevent files with the setuid and setgid bit set from being executed on file systems that are used with removable media.\"\n ^ here\n"}

Lines 2043 and 2056 refence the home_mount variable in the conditions, however the tasks are working with the removable_mount and removable_mount2 variables, respectively. Making the following corrections fixes the issues:

Lines 2043 - original
- "'nosuid' not in home_mounts.options"

Lines 2043 - corrected
- "'nosuid' not in removable_mount.options"

Lines 2056 - original
- "'nosuid' not in home_mounts.options"

Lines 2056 - corrected
- "'nosuid' not in removable_mount2.options"
