Subject: [PATCH 4.14 043/164] KEYS: reject NULL restriction string when type is specified

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit 18026d866801d0c52e5550210563222bd6c7191d upstream.

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>
