[PATCH v2 08/10] integrity: Use root of trust signature restriction

Eric Snowberg eric.snowberg at oracle.com

Keys added to the IMA keyring must be vouched for by keys contained
within the builtin or secondary keyrings.  These keys must also be self
signed, have the CA bit set and have the keyCertSign KeyUsage bit set.
Or they could be validated by a properly formed intermediate CA.
Currently these restrictions are not enforced. Use the new
restrict_link_by_ca_builtin_and_secondary_trusted and
restrict_link_by_ca_builtin_trusted to enforce the missing
CA restrictions when adding keys to the IMA keyring. With the
CA restrictions enforced, allow the machine keyring to be
enabled with IMA_KEYRINGS_PERMIT_SIGNED_BY_BUILTIN_OR_SECONDARY.
