[PATCH 09/23] KEYS: encrypted: fix race causing incorrect HMAC calculations

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

The encrypted-keys module was using a single global HMAC transform,
which could be rekeyed by multiple threads concurrently operating on
different keys, causing incorrect HMAC values to be calculated.  Fix
this by allocating a new HMAC transform whenever we need to calculate a
HMAC.  Also simplify things a bit by allocating the shash_desc's using
SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK() for both the HMAC and unkeyed hashes.

The following script reproduces the bug:

    keyctl new_session
    keyctl add user master "abcdefghijklmnop" @s
    for i in $(seq 2); do
        (
            set -e
            for j in $(seq 1000); do
                keyid=$(keyctl add encrypted desc$i "new user:master 25" @s)
                datablob="$(keyctl pipe $keyid)"
                keyctl unlink $keyid > /dev/null
                keyid=$(keyctl add encrypted desc$i "load $datablob" @s)
                keyctl unlink $keyid > /dev/null
            done
        ) &
    done

Output with bug:

    [  439.691094] encrypted_key: bad hmac (-22)
    add_key: Invalid argument
    add_key: Invalid argument
