Depending on the IMA policy a key can be searched in multiple keyrings (e.g.
.ima and .platform) and possibly failing for both. However, for the user not
aware of the searching order it's not clear what's the keyring the kernel
didn't find the key. With this patch we improve this feedback by printing
the keyring "description" (name).
