Subject: [GIT PULL] Keys: fix C++ reserved word issue

Please pull this revert and update, from David Howells:

"Here's a pair of fixes that need to go upstream asap, please:

 (1) Revert an incorrect fix to the keyrings UAPI for a C++ reserved word
     used as a struct member name.  This change being reverted breaks
     existing userspace code and is thus incorrect.

     Further, *neither* name is consistent with the one in the keyutils
     package public header.

 (2) Fix the problem by using a union to make the name from keyutils
     available in parallel and make the 'private' name unavailable in C++
     with cpp-conditionals."
