Subject: [patch 146/149] KEYS: Return more accurate error codes

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <error27@...il.com>

commit 4d09ec0f705cf88a12add029c058b53f288cfaa2 upstream.

We were using the wrong variable here so the error codes weren't being returned
properly.  The original code returns -ENOKEY.
