Subject: [PATCH 19/23] KEYS: DH: don't feed uninitialized "otherinfo" into
 KDF

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

If userspace called KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE with kdf_params containing NULL
otherinfo but nonzero otherinfolen, the kernel would allocate a buffer
for the otherinfo, then feed it into the KDF without initializing it.
Fix this by always doing the copy from userspace (which will fail with
EFAULT in this scenario).
