I have an additional patch to prevent keyrings from being constructed by
request_key() at all (though it can still search for them).  Could you give
this a spin in addition to the previous one also?

Thanks,

    KEYS: Don't permit request_key() to construct a new keyring
    
    If request_key() is used to find a keyring, only do the search part - don't
    do the construction part if the keyring was not found by the search.  We
    don't really want keyrings in the negative instantiated state since the
    rejected/negative instantiation error value in the payload is unioned with
    keyring metadata.
