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.

Trigger the creation of an RSA module signing key if it is not an RSA key.

Fixes: cfc411e7fff3 ("Move certificate handling to its own directory")

I've applied these to

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git

Can revert too but do not mind taking care of these patches as they are
not intrusive in any possible way.
