I wonder if it's better to provide a separate config option for the revocation
list, say:

	config SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST
		bool "Add revocation certs to the blacklist keyring"
		depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
		depends on PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER
		help
		  ...

and use that in blacklist.c.

In keys/system_keyring.h, is_key_on_revocation_list() can then be defaulted to
return 0 if that is disabled.

Btw, I've just noticed that add_key_to_revocation_list() and
is_key_on_revocation_list() lack kernel doc comments.
