[PATCH] keys: Fix linking a duplicate key to a keyring's assoc_array

[Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com>]

When making a DNS query inside the kernel using dns_query(), the request
code can in rare cases end up creating a duplicate index key in the
assoc_array of the destination keyring. It is eventually found by
a BUG_ON() check in the assoc_array implementation and results in
a crash.

The situation occurs as follows:
* Some kernel facility invokes dns_query() to resolve a hostname, for
  example, "abcdef". The function registers its global DNS resolver
  cache as current->cred.thread_keyring and passes the query to
  request_key_net() -> request_key_tag() -> request_key_and_link().
* Function request_key_and_link() creates a keyring_search_context
  object. Its match_data.cmp method gets set via a call to
  type->match_preparse() (resolves to dns_resolver_match_preparse()) to
  dns_resolver_cmp().
* Function request_key_and_link() continues and invokes
  search_process_keyrings_rcu() which returns that a given key was not
  found. The control is then passed to request_key_and_link() ->
  construct_alloc_key().
* Concurrently to that, a second task similarly makes a DNS query for
  "abcdef." and its result gets inserted into the DNS resolver cache.
* Back on the first task, function construct_alloc_key() first runs
  __key_link_begin() to determine an assoc_array_edit operation to
  insert a new key. Index keys in the array are compared exactly as-is,
  using keyring_compare_object(). The operation finds that "abcdef" is
  not yet present in the destination keyring.
* Function construct_alloc_key() continues and checks if a given key is
  already present on some keyring by again calling
  search_process_keyrings_rcu(). This search is done using
  dns_resolver_cmp() and "abcdef" gets matched with now present key
  "abcdef.".
* The found key is linked on the destination keyring by calling
  __key_link() and using the previously calculated assoc_array_edit
  operation. This inserts the "abcdef." key in the array but creates
  a duplicity because the same index key is already present.

Fix the problem by postponing __key_link_begin() in
construct_alloc_key() until an actual key which should be linked into
the destination keyring is determined.
