[PATCH] certs: always use secondary keyring first if possible

Commit d3bfe84129f6 introduced secondary_trusted_keys keyring, current
users of verify_pkcs7_signature are below:
net/wireless/reg.c : uses its own trusted_keys
kernel/module_signing.c : pass NULL trusted_keys 
crypto/asymmetric_keys/verify_pefile.c : pass NULL trusted_keys

For both module and pefile verification, there is no reason to use builtin
keys only. Actually in Fedora kernel module signing code passes 1UL, but
kexec code does not pass 1UL for pefile verification thus we have below bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470995

Drop the hard code 1UL checking so that pefile verification can use
secondary keyring as well.
