Subject: [PATCH 2/5] keys: generate self-signed module signing key using CSR

Loading a key on the IMA trusted keyring requires the key be signed
by an existing key on the builtin or secondary trusted keyring.
Creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) allows the certificate
to be self-signed or signed by a CA.

This patch generates a self-signed module signing key using CSR.
