s390/cert_store: Skip keys that disappeared during invalidation

This commit adds a NULL check after key_lookup() in
invalidate_keyring_keys() to skip keys that were unlinked before lookup.

[Severity: High]
Should this check IS_ERR(current_key) instead of !current_key?  When a key
is not found or its usage count has dropped to zero, key_lookup() returns
ERR_PTR(-ENOKEY) rather than NULL, so current_key->serial and
key_invalidate(current_key) will still dereference an error pointer.

[Severity: Medium]
Can skipping keys via continue cause invalidate_keyring_keys() to return a
positive byte count on success?  Before the loop, rc is set to
keyring_payload_len by key_type_keyring.read() and is only updated by
key_unlink():

arch/s390/kernel/cert_store.c:invalidate_keyring_keys() {
	...
	rc = key_type_keyring.read(keyring, (char *)key_array, keyring_payload_len);
	if (rc != keyring_payload_len) {
		pr_dbf_msg("Couldn't read keyring payload");
		goto out;
	}

	for (key_index = 0; key_index < num_keys; key_index++) {
		...
		rc = key_unlink(keyring, current_key);
	...
out:
	kfree(key_array);
	return rc;
}

If all keys in key_array have disappeared and are skipped, rc remains
keyring_payload_len, causing cleanup_cs_keys() to treat the call as a
failure and unregister key_type_cert_store_key.
