[PATCH 4/7] KEYS: call_sbin_request_key() must write lock keyrings before modifying them

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

call_sbin_request_key() creates a keyring and then attempts to insert a link to
the authorisation key into that keyring, but does so without holding a write
lock on the keyring semaphore.

It will normally get away with this because it hasn't told anyone that the
keyring exists yet.  The new keyring, however, has had its serial number
published, which means it can be accessed directly by that handle.

This was found by a previous patch that adds RCU lockdep checks to the code
that reads the keyring payload pointer, which includes a check that the keyring
semaphore is actually locked.

Without this patch, the following command:

	keyctl request2 user b a @s

will provoke the following lockdep warning is displayed in dmesg:

	===================================================
	[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
