certs: Trigger creation of RSA module signing key if it's not an RSA key
[ Upstream commit ea35e0d5df6c92fa2e124bb1b91d09b2240715ba ] 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. If openssl is installed, trigger the creation of an RSA module signing key if it is not an RSA key.
