Please pull these key susbystem fixes for 4.3, per the message from David 
Howells:

"Here are two patches, the first of which at least should go upstream
immediately:

 (1) Prevent a user-triggerable crash in the keyrings destructor when a
     negatively instantiated keyring is garbage collected.  I have also 
     seen this triggered for user type keys.

 (2) Prevent the user from using requesting that a keyring be created and
     instantiated through an upcall.  Doing so is probably safe since the 
     keyring type ignores the arguments to its instantiation function - 
     but we probably shouldn't let keyrings be created in this manner."
