[PATCH v2 1/5] certs: Make blacklist_vet_description() more strict

[Mickaël Salaün]

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic at linux.microsoft.com>

Before exposing this new key type to user space, make sure that only
meaningful blacklisted hashes are accepted.  This is also checked for
builtin blacklisted hashes, but a following commit make sure that the
user will notice (at built time) and will fix the configuration if it
already included errors.

Check that a blacklist key description starts with a valid prefix and
then a valid hexadecimal string.

Changes since v1:
* Return ENOPKG (instead of EINVAL) when a hash is greater than the
  maximum currently known hash (suggested by David Howells).
