Subject: [PATCH][next] KEYS: trusted: Fix missing null return from kzalloc call

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The kzalloc call can return null with the GFP_KERNEL flag so
add a null check and exit via a new error exit label. Use the
same exit error label for another error path too.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 830027e2cb55 ("KEYS: trusted: Add generic trusted keys framework")
