Subject: [PATCH 4.14 16/89] Replace magic for trusting the secondary keyring with #define

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yannik Sembritzki <yannik@...britzki.me>

commit 817aef260037f33ee0f44c17fe341323d3aebd6d upstream.

Replace the use of a magic number that indicates that verify_*_signature()
should use the secondary keyring with a symbol.
