[PATCH v4 3/4] KEYS: Remove __user annotation from dns_resolver_read()

As the keyctl_read_key() has been modified to use a temporary kernel
buffer to read out the key data instead of passing in the user-supplied
buffer directly, there is no need to use the __user annotation for
dns_resolver_read().
