[PATCH] security: keys: add __randomize_layout to keyring_search_context

Struct keyring_search_context contains a pointer to `struct cred`, which
is a security-critical structure and whose layout is randomized already.
Apply __randomize_layout to struct keyring_search_context as well, as
suggested in [1].
