This patch broke 'keyctl new_session', and hence broke all the fscrypt tests:

$ keyctl new_session
keyctl_session_to_parent: Permission denied

Output of 'keyctl show' is

$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
 605894913 --alswrv      0     0  keyring: _ses
 189223103 ----s-rv      0     0   \_ user: invocation_id
