[PATCH 14/15] KEYS: load key flags and expiry time atomically in keyring_search_iterator()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

Similar to the case for key_validate(), we should load the key ->flags
and ->expiry once atomically in keyring_search_iterator(), since they
can be changed concurrently whenever the key semaphore isn't held.
