[PATCH v2 2/6] KEYS: trusted: Allow import from existing key material for development

A key aspect of trusted keys is that they are never disclosed to
userspace in plain text. For development and debugging, it can be still
useful to be able to supply a key in plain text from userspace.

Implement an optional knob to support this according to the semantics
Jan and Mimi had agreed on here[1].

+Trusted Keys: import plain-text key for development
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Usage::
+
+    keyctl add trusted name "import hex_key_material" ring
+
+For kernels built with ``CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS_DEVELOPMENT_IMPORT=y``, new
+trusted keys can be created from existing key material supplied by userspace,
+instead of using random numbers. Once defined, as with random trusted keys,
+userspace cannot extract the plain-text key material again and will only
+ever see encrypted blobs. This option should *not* be enabled for production
+kernels.

+          This option adds support for creating new trusted keys from
+          existing key material supplied by userspace, instead of using
+          random numbers. Once defined,  as with random trusted keys,
+          userspace cannot extract the plain-text key material again

+
+          This option should *only* be enabled for debugging/development.
+          Also, consider using 'keyctl padd' instead of 'keyctl add' to
+          avoid exposing the plain-text key on the process command line.
+
+          If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
