Yang Xu e0c85c527d KEYS: reaching the keys quotas correctly
commit 2e356101e72ab1361821b3af024d64877d9a798d upstream.

Currently, when we add a new user key, the calltrace as below:

add_key()
  key_create_or_update()
    key_alloc()
    __key_instantiate_and_link
      generic_key_instantiate
        key_payload_reserve
          ......

Since commit a08bf91ce28e ("KEYS: allow reaching the keys quotas exactly"),
we can reach max bytes/keys in key_alloc, but we forget to remove this
limit when we reserver space for payload in key_payload_reserve. So we
can only reach max keys but not max bytes when having delta between plen
and type->def_datalen. Remove this limit when instantiating the key, so we
can keep consistent with key_alloc.

Also, fix the similar problem in keyctl_chown_key().

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
