If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter commit 57cb17e764ba0aaa169d07796acce54ccfbc6cae upstream. This function has two callers and neither are able to handle a NULL return. Really, -EINVAL is the correct thing return here anyway. This fixes some static checker warnings like: security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c:709 encrypted_key_decrypt() error: uninitialized symbol 'master_key'.
