[RFC PATCH 20/27] container, keys: Add a container keyring

Allow a container manager to attach keyrings to a container such that the
keys contained therein are searched by request_key() in addition to a
process's normal keyrings. This allows the manager to install keys to
support filesystem decryption and authentication for superblocks inside the
container without requiring any active role being played by processes
inside of the container.
So, for example, a container could be created, a keyring added and then an
rxrpc-type key added to the keyring such that a container's root filesystem
and data filesystems can be brought in from secure AFS volumes. It would
also be possible to put filesystem crypto keys in there such that Ext4
encrypted files could be decrypted - without the need to share the key
between other containers or let the key leak into the container.
Because the container manager retains control of the keyring, it can update
the contained keys as necessary to prevent expiration. Note that the
keyring and keys in the keyring must grant Search permission directly to
the container object.
[!] Note that NFS, CIFS and other filesystems wishing to make use of this
would have to get the token to use by calling request_key() on entry to
its VFS methods and retain it in its file struct.
[!] Note that request_key() called from userspace does not look in the
container keyring.
[!] Note that keys are now tagged with a tag that identifies the network
namespace (or other domain of operation). This allows keys to be
provided in one keyring that allow the same thing but in different
network namespaces.
The keyring should be created by the container manager and then set using:
keyctl(KEYCTL_SET_CONTAINER_KEYRING, int containerfd,
key_serial_t keyring);
With this, request_key() inside the kernel searches:
thread-keyring, process-keyring, session-keyring, container-keyring
[!] It may be worth setting a flag on a mountpoint to indicate whether to
search the container keyring first or last.
