[PATCH 06/23] KEYS: put keyring if install_session_keyring_to_cred() fails

[David Howells]

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

In join_session_keyring(), if install_session_keyring_to_cred() were to
fail, we would leak the keyring reference, just like in the bug fixed by
commit 23567fd052a9 ("KEYS: Fix keyring ref leak in
join_session_keyring()").  Fortunately this cannot happen currently, but
we really should be more careful.  Do this by adding and using a new
error label at which the keyring reference is dropped.
