KEYS: close race between key lookup and freeing
When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's respective tracking structures. This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is find_keyring_by_name() which would dereference key->user for a key that is in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but ->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list). This would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory. Change-Id: I01a5ec17916864929458caa9d0fbefea2ca2c5e2 Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>
