Subject: [12/71] eCryptfs: ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig() bug fix

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@...ito.it>

commit 1821df040ac3cd6a57518739f345da6d50ea9d3f upstream.

The pointer '(*auth_tok_key)' is set to NULL in case request_key()
fails, in order to prevent its use by functions calling
ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig().
