This patch is broken when CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING is set but
CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST is unset, meaning that
CONFIG_SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS is not defined at all. This is very easy
to reproduce with x86_64_defconfig.

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" O=build/x86_64 defconfig

$ scripts/config --file build/x86_64/.config -e SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" O=build/x86_64 olddefconfig certs/
At main.c:154:
- SSL error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line: crypto/pem/pem_lib.c:745
extract-cert: /home/nathan/cbl/src/linux-next/: Is a directory
make[3]: *** [/home/nathan/cbl/src/linux-next/certs/Makefile:119: certs/x509_revocation_list] Error 1
...

This happens with every single distribution configuration that I test.

Cheers,
Nathan
