Subject: [34-longterm 015/196] eCryptfs: ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig() bug fix

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

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().
