[RFC PATCH 21/27] keys: Fix request_key() lack of Link perm check on found key

[David Howells]

The request_key() syscall allows a process to gain access to the 'possessor'
permits of any key that grants it Search permission by virtue of request_key()
not checking whether a key it finds grants Link permission to the caller.
