Subject: [PATCH] NFS: reject request for id_legacy key without auxdata

nfs_idmap_legacy_upcall() is supposed to be called with 'aux' pointing
to a 'struct idmap', via the call to request_key_with_auxdata() in
nfs_idmap_request_key().

However it can also be reached via the request_key() system call in
which case 'aux' will be NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference in
nfs_idmap_prepare_pipe_upcall(), assuming that the key description is
valid enough to get that far.

Fix this by making nfs_idmap_legacy_upcall() negate the key if no
auxdata is provided.

As usual, this bug was found by syzkaller.  A simple reproducer using
the command-line keyctl program is:

    keyctl request2 id_legacy uid:0 '' @s
