[PATCH v7 0/3] integrity: support including firmware ".platform" keys at build time

Some firmware support secure boot by embedding static keys to verify the
Linux kernel during boot. However, these firmware do not expose an
interface for the kernel to load firmware keys onto the ".platform"
keyring, preventing the kernel from verifying the kexec kernel image
signature.

This patchset exports load_certificate_list() and defines a new function
load_builtin_platform_cert() to load compiled in certificates onto the
".platform" keyring.

Note: It seems last time my patches didn't go through mailing list. My
apologies to those who are receiving it twice.

Changelog:

v7:
* Incldues Jarkko's feedback on patch description for Patch 1 and 3.

v6:
* Includes Jarkko's feedback:
 * Split Patch 2 into two.
 * Update Patch description.

v5:
* Renamed load_builtin_platform_cert() to load_platform_certificate_list()
and config INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_BUILTIN_KEYS to INTEGRITY_PLATFORM_KEYS, as
suggested by Mimi Zohar.

v4:
* Split into two patches as per Mimi Zohar and Dimitri John Ledkov
recommendation.

v3:
* Included Jarkko's feedback
 ** updated patch description to include approach.
 ** removed extern for function declaration in the .h file.
* Included load_certificate_list() within #ifdef CONFIG_KEYS condition.

v2:
* Fixed the error reported by kernel test robot
* Updated patch description based on Jarkko's feedback.
