[RFC PATCH 0/2] let kexec_file_load use platform keyring to verify the kernel image

Hi,

This is a different approach for the previous patch:
[RFC PATCH 0/1] KEYS, integrity: Link .platform keyring to .secondary_trusted_keys
make kexec_file_load be able to verify the kernel image against keys
provided by platform or firmware.

This patch adds a .platform_trusted_keys in system_keyring as the reference
to .platform keyring in integrity subsystem, when platform keyring is
being initialized it will be updated.

Another thing on my mind is that now kexec_file_load will still relay on
CONFIG_INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYRING and all its dependencies to be enabled
to be able to verify the image against firmware keys. I'm thinking about
to have something like CONFIG_PLATFORM_KEYRING and make the .platform
keyring could be enabled for a more wider usage. Not sure if it's a good
idea though.

Tested in a VM with locally signed kernel with pesign and imported the
cert to EFI's MokList variable.
