Subject: [PATCH 10/14] fscrypt: remove unnecessary check for non-logon key type

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

We're passing 'key_type_logon' to request_key(), so the found key is
guaranteed to be of type "logon".  Thus, there is no reason to check
later that the key is really a "logon" key.
