David Howells 46963b774d KEYS: Overhaul key identification when searching for asymmetric keys
Make use of the new match string preparsing to overhaul key identification
when searching for asymmetric keys.  The following changes are made:

 (1) Use the previously created asymmetric_key_id struct to hold the following
     key IDs derived from the X.509 certificate or PKCS#7 message:

	id: serial number + issuer
	skid: subjKeyId + subject
	authority: authKeyId + issuer

 (2) Replace the hex fingerprint attached to key->type_data[1] with an
     asymmetric_key_ids struct containing the id and the skid (if present).

 (3) Make the asymmetric_type match data preparse select one of two searches:

     (a) An iterative search for the key ID given if prefixed with "id:".  The
     	 prefix is expected to be followed by a hex string giving the ID to
     	 search for.  The criterion key ID is checked against all key IDs
     	 recorded on the key.

     (b) A direct search if the key ID is not prefixed with "id:".  This will
     	 look for an exact match on the key description.

 (4) Make x509_request_asymmetric_key() take a key ID.  This is then converted
     into "id:<hex>" and passed into keyring_search() where match preparsing
     will turn it back into a binary ID.

 (5) X.509 certificate verification then takes the authority key ID and looks
     up a key that matches it to find the public key for the certificate
     signature.

 (6) PKCS#7 certificate verification then takes the id key ID and looks up a
     key that matches it to find the public key for the signed information
     block signature.

Additional changes:

 (1) Multiple subjKeyId and authKeyId values on an X.509 certificate cause the
     cert to be rejected with -EBADMSG.

 (2) The 'fingerprint' ID is gone.  This was primarily intended to convey PGP
     public key fingerprints.  If PGP is supported in future, this should
     generate a key ID that carries the fingerprint.

 (3) Th ca_keyid= kernel command line option is now converted to a key ID and
     used to match the authority key ID.  Possibly this should only match the
     actual authKeyId part and not the issuer as well.
