Subject: [PATCH v2] KEYS: encrypted: fix key instantiation with user-provided
 data

Commit cd3bc044af48 ("KEYS: encrypted: Instantiate key with user-provided
decrypted data") added key instantiation with user provided decrypted data.
The user data is hex-ascii-encoded but was just memcpy'ed to the binary buffer.
Fix this to use hex2bin instead.

Keys created from user provided decrypted data saved with "keyctl pipe"
are still valid, however if the key is recreated from decrypted data the
old key must be converted to the correct format. This can be done with a
small shell script, e.g.:

BROKENKEY=abcdefABCDEF1234567890aaaaaaaaaa
NEWKEY=$(echo -ne $BROKENKEY | xxd -p -c64)
keyctl add user masterkey "$(cat masterkey.bin)" @u
keyctl add encrypted testkey "new user:masterkey 32 $NEWKEY" @u

It is encouraged to switch to a new key because the effective key size
of the old keys is only half of the specified size.

The corresponding test for the Linux Test Project ltp has been fixed
with this patch:
