[PATCH] keys: Fix UAF in key_put()

[Oleg Nesterov]

Either way... I know nothing about security/key, but grep -w key_put
finds

 *  When it is no longer required, the key should be released using::

	void key_put(struct key *key);

    Or::

	void key_ref_put(key_ref_t key_ref);

    These can be called from interrupt context.
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

in Documentation/security/keys/core.rst

and since key_user_put() takes key_user_lock with irqs enabled,
key_put()->key_user_put() doesn't look correct...

Oleg.
