Subject: [GIT PULL] Keyrings fixes, including one CVE fix

Hi James,

Could you pass these on to Linus please?  There are two fixes:

 (1) Fix for the order in which things are done during key garbage
     collection to prevent named keyrings causing a crash [CVE-2014-9529].

 (2) Fix assoc_array to explicitly #include rcupdate.h to prevent compilation
     errors under certain circumstances.

David
