KEYS: Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig
Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig as there are going to be a lot of key-related options. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>

- This option provides support for retaining authentication tokens and

- It also includes provision of methods by which such keys might be
- associated with a process so that network filesystems, encryption
- support and the like can find them.

- Furthermore, a special type of key is available that acts as keyring:
- a searchable sequence of keys. Each process is equipped with access
- to five standard keyrings: UID-specific, GID-specific, session,
