Parse the X.509 Basic Constraints.  The basic constraints extension
identifies whether the subject of the certificate is a CA.

BasicConstraints ::= SEQUENCE {
        cA                      BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
        pathLenConstraint       INTEGER (0..MAX) OPTIONAL }

If the CA is true, store it in a new public_key field call key_is_ca.
This will be used in a follow on patch that requires knowing if the
public key is a CA.

You could extend the description to state why kernel needs X.509 Basic
Constraints support.

v7: Initial version
v8: Moved key_is_ca after key_is_private, recommended by Mimi
