Subject: CVE-2024-47743: KEYS: prevent NULL pointer dereference in find_asymmetric_key()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KEYS: prevent NULL pointer dereference in find_asymmetric_key()

In find_asymmetric_key(), if all NULLs are passed in the id_{0,1,2}
arguments, the kernel will first emit WARN but then have an oops
because id_2 gets dereferenced anyway.

Add the missing id_2 check and move WARN_ON() to the final else branch
to avoid duplicate NULL checks.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static
analysis tool.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-47743 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
