[PATCH 0/3] Add digitalSignature enforcement keyring restrictions

X.509 certificates may contain a key usage extension [1]. The key usage
extension defines the purpose of the certificate. One area of
interest is the digitalSignature. The digitalSignature usage is
typically used for code signing (integrity). 

Within the "Add CA enforcement key restrictions" [2] series, the
digitalSignature is being saved.  This series builds upon the previous
one and adds restrictions based on the digitalSignature usage.  

A new keyring restriction called restrict_link_by_digsig is added. The new
restriction only allows keys that contain digitalSignature usage within
it.

The first two keyrings to use this restriction are the .ima and .evm
keyrings.  With this update, only keys containing a digitalSignature 
will be allowed in either keyring.

  KEYS: DigitalSignature link restriction
  integrity: Enforce digitalSignature usage in the ima and evm keyrings
  integrity: Remove EXPERIMENTAL from Kconfig
