This commit needs a complete rewrite and I do not have time and
energy to propose one but here's what it should contain:

1. Add HAVE_TRUSTED_KEYS to th trusted-keys/Kconfig.
2. The use and purpose of HAVE_TRUSTED_KEYS.

If you read your commit message, do you see anything at all concerning
the code change? It only tells a story about something that is not
properly being defined to be "hard to read", which is no rationale to
change anything at all in the kernel.

If you put factors more focus on being as straight and easy to get
in the commit messages, it will also improve the round-trip time
between sending the patch set and getting reviewed, because people
with limited time at their hands tend to pick the low-hanging fruit
first.
