The only problem i see with the code is that in case .ima_mok is not configured
x509_validate_trust() returns NULL, which falsely set the key as trusted. This
could easily be fixed.
Some users do want to be able to load kernel modules signed by other trusted
parties. Think of .ima_mok as system wide keyring in this case. It is
semantically broken, but it does the right thing.
