KEYS: Fix keyring ref leak in join_session_keyring()

commit 23567fd052a9abb6d67fe8e7a9ccdd9800a540f2 upstream.

This fixes CVE-2016-0728.

If a thread is asked to join as a session keyring the keyring that's already
set as its session, we leak a keyring reference.

This can be tested with the following program:

#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <keyutils.h>

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
int i = 0;
key_serial_t serial;

serial = keyctl(KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING,
"leaked-keyring");
if (serial < 0) {
perror("keyctl");
return -1;
}

if (keyctl(KEYCTL_SETPERM, serial,
   KEY_POS_ALL | KEY_USR_ALL) < 0) {
perror("keyctl");
return -1;
}

for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
serial = keyctl(KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING,
"leaked-keyring");
if (serial < 0) {
perror("keyctl");
return -1;
}
}

return 0;
}

If, after the program has run, there something like the following line in
/proc/keys:

3f3d898f I--Q---   100 perm 3f3f0000     0     0 keyring   leaked-keyring: empty

with a usage count of 100 * the number of times the program has been run,
then the kernel is malfunctioning.  If leaked-keyring has zero usages or
has been garbage collected, then the problem is fixed.
