Hi Nayna,

This patch exports the function find_keyring_by_name() to be used by
other subsystems.
Looking this patch over again, I realize that exported functions must
be prefixed with the subsystem name.  I'm also a bit concerned with
exporting find_keyring_by_name().  David, any comments?

Perhaps it would be better if IMA creates the .platform keyring so
that it has access to the keyring id instead.
