In assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node(), we call the
compare_object() method on all empty slots, even when they're not
leaves, passing a pointer to an unexpected structure to
compare_object(). Currently it causes an out-of-bound read access in
keyring_compare_object detected by KASan. The issue is easily
reproduced with keyutils testsuite.
Only call compare_object() when the slot is a leave.
