The put_user call from keyring_read_iterator caused a page fault which attempts
to lock mm->mmap_sem and type->lock_class (key->sem) in the reverse order that
keyring_read_iterator did, thus causing the circular locking dependency.

Remedy this by using access_ok and __put_user instead of put_user so we'll
return an error instead of faulting in the page.

Also to prevent potential changes in behavior to applications, pre-fault the
page(s) with the key in keyctl_read_key before taking the read semaphore to
ensure that the page is present by the time keyring_read_iterator is called.
