[GIT PULL] Keys: Set 1 - Miscellany for 5.3

Hi Linus,

Here's my first block of keyrings changes for the next merge window.  I've
divided up the set into four blocks, but they need to be applied in order
as they would otherwise conflict with each other.

These are some miscellaneous keyrings fixes and improvements:

 (1) Fix a bunch of warnings from sparse, including missing RCU bits and
     kdoc-function argument mismatches

 (2) Implement a keyctl to allow a key to be moved from one keyring to
     another, with the option of prohibiting key replacement in the
     destination keyring.

 (3) Grant Link permission to possessors of request_key_auth tokens so that
     upcall servicing daemons can more easily arrange things such that only
     the necessary auth key is passed to the actual service program, and
     not all the auth keys a daemon might possesss.

 (4) Improvement in lookup_user_key().

 (5) Implement a keyctl to allow keyrings subsystem capabilities to be
     queried.

The keyutils next branch has commits to make available, document and test
the move-key and capabilities code:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/log

They're currently on the 'next' branch.
