Subject: KEYS: reject NULL restriction string when type is specified

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

commit 18026d866801d0c52e5550210563222bd6c7191d upstream.

keyctl_restrict_keyring() allows through a NULL restriction when the
"type" is non-NULL, which causes a NULL pointer dereference in
asymmetric_lookup_restriction() when it calls strcmp() on the
restriction string.

But no key types actually use a "NULL restriction" to mean anything, so
update keyctl_restrict_keyring() to reject it with EINVAL.
