[LTP] [PATCH 1/3] IMA: Update key test documentation

The current documentation for the existing IMA key test was
left in by accident by a previous merge. It does not apply
to the test that is currently included in the LTP.

Update the documentation for the IMA key test.

-### IMA key import test
-`ima_keys.sh` requires a x509 public key, by default in `/etc/keys/x509_ima.der`
-(defined in `CONFIG_IMA_X509_PATH` kernel config option).
-The key must be signed by the private key you generate. Follow these instructions:

-The test cannot be set-up automatically because the x509 public key must be
-built into the kernel and loaded onto a trusted keyring
-(e.g. `.builtin_trusted_keys`, `.secondary_trusted_keyring`).
