[PATCH v4 03/10] certs: Fix blacklisted hexadecimal hash string check

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

When looking for a blacklisted hash, bin2hex() is used to transform a
binary hash to an ascii (lowercase) hexadecimal string.  This string is
then search for in the description of the keys from the blacklist
keyring.  When adding a key to the blacklist keyring,
blacklist_vet_description() checks the hash prefix and the hexadecimal
string, but not that this string is lowercase.  It is then valid to set
hashes with uppercase hexadecimal, which will be silently ignored by the
kernel.

Add an additional check to blacklist_vet_description() to check that
hexadecimal strings are in lowercase.
