[PATCH v6 0/4] use more system keyrings to verify arm64 and s390 kexec kernel image signature

Currently, a problem faced by arm64 is if a kernel image is signed by a
MOK key, loading it via the kexec_file_load() system call would be
rejected with the error "Lockdown: kexec: kexec of unsigned images is
restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7". This happens because arm64 uses
only the primary keyring that contains only kernel built-in keys to
verify the kexec image.
Similarly, s390 only uses platform keyring for kernel image signature
verification and built-in keys and secondary keyring are not used.
This patch set allows arm64 and s390 to use more system keyrings to
verify kexec kernel image signature as x86 does.
v6:
- integrate the first three patches of "[PATCH 0/4] Unifrom keyring
support across architectures and functions" from Michal [1]
- improve commit message [Baoquan, Michal]
- directly assign kexec_kernel_verify_pe_sig to
kexec_file_ops->verify_sig [Michal]
v5:
- improve commit message [Baoquan]
v4:
- fix commit reference format issue and other checkpatch.pl warnings [Baoquan]
v3:
- s/arch_kexec_kernel_verify_pe_sig/kexec_kernel_verify_pe_sig [Eric]
- clean up arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig [Eric]
v2:
- only x86_64 and arm64 need to enable PE file signature check [Dave]
