Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] KEYS: validate certificate trust only with selected
 owner key

Instead of allowing public keys, with certificates signed by any
key on the system trusted keyring, to be added to a trusted keyring,
this patch further restricts the certificates to those signed by a
particular key on the system keyring.

This patch defines a new kernel parameter 'keys_ownerid' to identify
the owner's key which must be used for trust validation of certificates.

Based on Mimi's "KEYS: define an owner trusted keyring" patch.
