Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: The request_key() syscall should link an existing key
	to the dest keyring

The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a link
from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not just from a
new key to the destination keyring.

This can be tested by:

	ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
	keyctl request2 user debug:a a
	keyctl request user debug:a $ring
	keyctl list $ring

If it says:

	keyring is empty

then it didn't work.  If it shows something like:

	1 key in keyring:
	1070462727: --alswrv     0     0 user: debug:a

then it did.
