Subject: 'select' on deleted KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS option

Hi Dmitry,

your commit f4dc37785e9b ("integrity: define '.evm' as a builtin
'trusted' keyring") introduces the INTEGRITY_TRUSTED_KEYRING Kconfig
option, which has a 'select' to KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS.

This option, however, has been removed over a year ago by commit
dabd39cc2fb1 ("KEYS: Make /proc/keys unconditional if CONFIG_KEYS=y")
and -- besides the 'select' mentioned above -- only occurs inside
(outdated) defconfigs.

Should I prepare a simple patch removing the select?

Best regards,

Andreas
