If IMA_LOAD_X509 is enabled either directly or indirectly via
IMA_APPRAISE_SIGNED_INIT, it enables certificate loading to the IMA trusted
keyring from the kernel. Due to the overlook, KEY_ALLOC_TRUSTED was used in the
key_create_or_update() to create keys within the kernel, which caused
overriding certificate verification result and allowed to load self-signed or
wrongly signed certificates.
This patch just removes this option.
