Hi David and Linus,

KEYCTL_PKEY_QUERY is still failing basic fuzzing even after Linus' fix that
changed Opt_err from -1 to 0.  The crash is still in keyctl_pkey_params_parse():

		token = match_token(p, param_keys, args);
		if (__test_and_set_bit(token, &token_mask))
			return -EINVAL;
		q = args[0].from;
		if (!q[0])
			return -EINVAL;

Now it crashes on '!q[0]' because 'args[0].from' is uninitialized when
token == Opt_err.  args[0] is only initialized when the parsed token had a
pattern that set it.

David, where are the tests for these new keyctls?
