[PATCH v2 3/3] certs: don't try to update blacklist keys

When the same key is blacklisted repeatedly we don't want to log an
error. These duplicates can be provided by buggy firmware. Instead of
spamming the bootlog with errors we use a warning that can still be seen
by OEMs when testing.

Also extend BLACKLIST_KEY_PERM as otherwise the EACCES will shadow the
EEXIST.
