This function was deliberately designed to return 0 on success *and also*
if there's no keyslot found with the specified key - i.e. it returns 0 if
the key is no longer programmed into the keyslot manager, which is what the
callers care about, so I don't think there's a bug here.

Also if we were to apply this patch, we'd also need to change the callers
to handle this new -ENOENT case (and not treat it as an error/not propogate
-ENOENT in e.g. dm_keyslot_evict_callback()).

Is there a reason we want to change the behaviour of this function?
