[PATCH v3 1/3] certs: log hash value on blacklist error

Without this information these logs are not actionable.

For example on duplicate blacklisted hashes reported by the system
firmware users should be able to report the erroneous hashes to their
system vendors.

While we are at it use the dedicated format string for ERR_PTR.

Fixes: 6364d106e041 ("certs: Allow root user to append signed hashes to the blacklist keyring")
