Subject: Fix kexec forbidding kernels signed with keys in the secondary keyring to boot

From: Yannik Sembritzki <yannik@sembritzki.me>

commit ea93102f32244e3f45c8b26260be77ed0cc1d16c upstream.

The split of .system_keyring into .builtin_trusted_keys and
.secondary_trusted_keys broke kexec, thereby preventing kernels signed by
keys which are now in the secondary keyring from being kexec'd.

Fix this by passing VERIFY_USE_SECONDARY_KEYRING to
verify_pefile_signature().
