[RFC PATCH] KEYS: Provide keyctls to do public key operations

Here's a patch that does a first attempt at implementing keyctls for public key operations using asymmetric-type keys. This includes provision of a query function. [!] Note that whilst this patch compiles, it has not yet been tested. I make the assumption that the asymmetric key type is the
