Subject: [PATCH] Allow clients to set key perms in key_create_or_update()

Hello,
The key_create_or_update() function provided by the keyring code has a 
default set of permissions that are always applied to the key when 
created. This might not be desirable to all clients.

Here's a patch that adds a "perm" parameter to the function to address 
this, which can be set to KEY_PERM_UNDEF to revert to the current behaviour.

Cheers,
Arun
