When configuration settings are disabled the guarded functions are
defined as empty stubs, so the check is unnecessary.
The specific configuration option for set_module_sig_enforced() is
about to change and removing the checks avoids some later churn.

This patch is not strictly necessary right now, but makes looking for
usages of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG easier.

Hi Thomas,

I'm just getting to looking at this patch set.  Sorry for the delay.

Testing whether CONFIG_MODULE_SIG and CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG are configured gives priority
to them, rather than to the IMA support.  Without any other changes, both signature
verifications would be enforced.  Is that the intention?

Mimi
