Merge branch 'keys-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull key handling fixes 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" * 'keys-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: KEYS: Don't permit request_key() to construct a new keyring KEYS: Fix crash when attempt to garbage collect an uninstantiated keyring
