[PATCH] keys: ensure that ->match_free() is called in request_key_and_link()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

If check_cached_key() returns a non-NULL value, we still need to call
key_type::match_free() to undo key_type::match_preparse().

Fixes: 7743c48e54ee ("keys: Cache result of request_key*() temporarily in task_struct")
