KEYS: Fix searching of nested keyrings
If a keyring contains more than 16 keyrings (the capacity of a single node in
the associative array) then those keyrings are split over multiple nodes
arranged as a tree.
If search_nested_keyrings() is called to search the keyring then it will
attempt to manually walk over just the 0 branch of the associative array tree
where all the keyring links are stored. This works provided the key is found
before the algorithm steps from one node containing keyrings to a child node
or if there are sufficiently few keyring links that the keyrings are all in
one node.
However, if the algorithm does need to step from a node to a child node, it
doesn't change the node pointer unless a shortcut also gets transited. This
means that the algorithm will keep scanning the same node over and over again
without terminating and without returning.
To fix this, move the internal-pointer-to-node translation from inside the
shortcut transit handler so that it applies it to node arrival as well.
This can be tested by:
r=`keyctl newring sandbox @s`
for ((i=0; i<=16; i++)); do keyctl newring ring$i $r; done
for ((i=0; i<=16; i++)); do keyctl add user a$i a %:ring$i; done
for ((i=0; i<=16; i++)); do keyctl search $r user a$i; done
for ((i=17; i<=20; i++)); do keyctl search $r user a$i; done
The searches should all complete successfully (or with an error for 17-20),
but instead one or more of them will hang.
