Subject: [PATCH] Do not attempt LWCA key retrieval for host authority

During two-step installation of externally-signed CA, installation
can fail because host authority's private key cannot be located (a
temporary condition), causing LWCA key replication to fire, which
throws NullPointerException because the host authority's AuthorityID
has not been set yet.

Do not start key retrieval if the CA's AuthorityID is null (a
condition which implies that the CA is the host authority).

Fixes: https://fedorahosted.org/pki/ticket/2466
(cherry picked from commit fca5fd053434d112998c814bc6d9424b6a5bac98)
