[PATCH v6 3/4] arm64: kexec_file: use more system keyrings to verify 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 image_verify_sig uses only the primary keyring that
contains only kernel built-in keys to verify the kexec image.

This patch allows to verify arm64 kernel image signature using not only
.builtin_trusted_keys but also .platform and .secondary_trusted_keys
keyring.
