[RFC PATCH 18/27] keys: Find the least-recently used unseen key in a keyring.

Provide a keyctl by which the oldest "unseen" key in a keyring can be
found.  The "unseenness" is controlled by a flag on the key, so is shared
across all keyrings that might link to a key.  The flag is only set by this
keyctl.  The keyctl looks like:

	key = keyctl_find_lru(key_serial_t keyring,
			      const char *type_name)

It searches the nominated keyring subtree for a valid key of the specified
type and returns its serial number or -ENOKEY if no valid, unseen keys are
found.

This is primarily intended for use with ".request_key_auth"-type keys in
container upcall management.  Ordinarily, it should be possible to just
pick the serial numbers out of the notification records from when an auth
key gets added to the upcall keyring, but if the buffer gets overrun, then
some other means must be employed.

[!] I'm not sure I need to do the "unseen" check at all.  This call is only
    really needed if there's a notification buffer overrun.
