Subject[PATCH v2 1/2] certs: Trigger creation of RSA module signing key if it's not an RSA key
Date
Address a kbuild issue where a developer created an ECDSA key for signing
kernel modules and then builds an older version of the kernel, when bi-
secting the kernel for example, that does not support ECDSA keys.

Trigger the creation of an RSA module signing key if it is not an RSA key.

Fixes: cfc411e7fff3 ("Move certificate handling to its own directory")
