In the case when the module paramater isn't specified and both TPM and
TEE are enabled, trusted_key_ops is set to the last source initialized.
After patch 2/4, the last trusted source initialized is TEE.  If the
intention is to limit it to either TPM or TEE, then trusted_key_ops
should have a default value, which could be overwritten at runtime. 
That would address Luke Hind's concerns of making the decision at
compile time.

trusted_key_ops should be defined as __ro_after_init, like is currently
done for other LSM structures.

If the intention is really to support both TPM and TEE trusted keys at
the same time, as James suggested, then the same "for" loop as in
init_trusted() is needed here and probably elsewhere.
