[PATCH v11 3/6] IMA: Define an IMA hook to measure keys

Measure asymmetric keys used for verifying file signatures,
certificates, etc.

This patch defines a new IMA hook namely ima_post_key_create_or_update()
to measure the payload used to create a new asymmetric key or
update an existing asymmetric key.

Asymmetric key structure is defined only when
CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE is defined. Since the IMA hook
measures asymmetric keys, the IMA hook is defined in a new file namely
ima_asymmetric_keys.c which is built only if
CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE is defined.
