Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KEYS: Fix crash when attempt to garbage collect an
 uninstantiated keyring

    The following sequence of commands:

        i=`keyctl add user a a @s`
        keyctl request2 keyring foo bar @t
        keyctl unlink $i @s

    tries to invoke an upcall to instantiate a keyring if one doesn't already
    exist by that name within the user's keyring set.  However, if the upcall
    fails, the code sets keyring->type_data.reject_error to -ENOKEY or some
    other error code.  When the key is garbage collected, the key destroy
    function is called unconditionally and keyring_destroy() uses list_empty()
    on keyring->type_data.link - which is in a union with reject_error.
    Subsequently, the kernel tries to unlink the keyring from the keyring names
    list - which oopses like this:

    	BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000ffffff8a

    Note the value in RAX.  This is a 32-bit representation of -ENOKEY.

    The solution is to only call ->destroy() if the key was successfully
    instantiated.
