KEYS: trusted: Remove redundant static calls usage
Commit Message
Static calls invocations aren't well supported from module __init and
__exit functions, especially the static call from cleanup_trusted() led
to a crash on x86 kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y.
However, the usage of static call invocations for trusted_key_init()
and trusted_key_exit() doesn't adds any value neither from performance
point and nor there is any security benefit. Hence switch to use indirect
function calls instead.
Note here that although it will fix the current crash reported. But
ultimately we need fix up static calls infrastructure to either support
its future usage from module __init and __exit functions or not.

Split the above paragraph into two sentences.

don't add any value from either a performance or security
perspective.

The first line is a sentence fragment. Please replace the period with
a comma.
report, ultimately the static call call infrastructure should ...
