Subject: [PATCH 1/1][BUG][TAKE2] KEYRINGS: find_keyring_by_name() can gain
 the freed keyring

From: Toshiyuki Okajima <toshi.okajima@...fujitsu.com>

With linux-2.6.34-rc5, find_keyring_by_name() can gain the keyring which has
been already freed. And then, its space (which is gained by 
find_keyring_by_name()) is broken by accessing the freed keyring as the 
available keyring.
This problem is serious because it may trigger the user data destructions.

This root cause is not to confirm the keyring is valid.
So, adding its validate confirmation with spin_lock(&key_serial_lock) 
can fix this problem.
