This is not safe. You can just extend the existing debug switch for
strict module loading and re-use the variable there and use that,
for example

diff --git a/kernel/module/signing.c b/kernel/module/signing.c
index a2ff4242e623..9111822116e6 100644
--- a/kernel/module/signing.c

 		break;

+		break;
 
 	default:

+		pr_debug("Verifying module signature failed: %s\n", reason);
 		return err;
 	}

Also certs/system_keyring.c already has a lot of pr_devel stuff too, so
do we really need this?
