Subject: [PATCH 09/10] KEYS: reuse keyring_index_key::desc_len in
 lookup_user_key() [ver #2]

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

When lookup_user_key() checks whether the key is possessed, it should
use the key's existing index_key including the 'desc_len' field, rather
than recomputing the 'desc_len'.  This doesn't change the behavior; this
way is just simpler and faster.
