Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: reject NULL restriction string when type is specified

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

keyctl_restrict_keyring() allows through a NULL restriction when the
"type" is non-NULL, which causes a NULL pointer dereference in
asymmetric_lookup_restriction() when it calls strcmp() on the
restriction string.

But no key types actually use a "NULL restriction" to mean anything, so
update keyctl_restrict_keyring() to reject it with EINVAL.

Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@...glegroups.com>
Fixes: 97d3aa0f3134 ("KEYS: Add a lookup_restriction function for the asymmetric key type")
