[PATCH 3/3] fscrypt: check for NULL keyring in fscrypt_put_master_key_activeref()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

It is a bug for fscrypt_put_master_key_activeref() to see a NULL
keyring.  But it used to be possible due to the bug, now fixed, where
fscrypt_destroy_keyring() was called before security_sb_delete().  To be
consistent with how fscrypt_destroy_keyring() uses WARN_ON for the same
issue, WARN and leak the fscrypt_master_key if the keyring is NULL
instead of dereferencing the NULL pointer.

This is a robustness improvement, not a fix.
