Slight rework for all the pkey ioctl functions, especially related to
the error paths with regard to free memory. This patch removes all
this duplicated code and introduces one code block at the end of the
functions which is jumped into via goto out or executed on regular
exit.

Changelog:
v1 - first version
v2 - just a rebase of the v1 patch as the original patch did not apply
     any more.
v3 - Fix paths where a error ptr returned from a helper function may
     be used as input for kfree(). Fixed typo pathes -> paths
v4 - Added yet another slight rework covering the possible use of an
     uninitialized variable in an error path.
v5 - Resend without any code changes, just Finn's reviewed by added.

With the pkey rework there was the suggestion to rework the error and
free paths of the pkey ioctl functions. The complain was especially to
rewrite the failure handling with goto instead of all repeat the
nearly same code (kfree(), kfree_sensitive(), memzero_explicit()) for
each path. This patch removes all this duplicated code and introduces
one code block at the end of the functions which is jumped into via
goto out or executed on regular exit. As some helper functions return
an error pointer value (which is NOT NULL) make sure on the error path
there is not by accident kfree() or similar called on such ptr values.
