[RFC PATCH v3 01/11] KEYS: Add key_gc_flush() for draining RCU callbacks

[Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>]

keyring_clear() and key_invalidate() release keyring links via call_rcu(),
and key_put() defers final key destruction to key_gc_work.

Once keys pin their type, callers that clear an internal cache before
module unload need a synchronous barrier so module references can be
dropped before delete_module() checks the refcount.

Add key_gc_flush() for flushing the remaining key_gc_work passes.
