Subject: [PATCH 3.16 157/158] KEYS: Fix use-after-free in assoc_array_gc()

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

commit 27419604f51a97d497853f14142c1059d46eb597 upstream.

An edit script should be considered inaccessible by a function once it has
called assoc_array_apply_edit() or assoc_array_cancel_edit().

However, assoc_array_gc() is accessing the edit script just after the
gc_complete: label.
