keys: Fix request_key() lack of Link perm check on found key

Browse Source

permits of any key that grants it Search permission by virtue of request_key()
not checking whether a key it finds grants Link permission to the caller.

/sbin/request-key will be invoked in an attempt to obtain a key. The
callout_info string will be passed as an argument to the program.
To link a key into the destination keyring the key must grant link
permission on the key to the caller and the keyring must grant write
permission.
