Subject: [RFC PATCH v4] KEYS: Add a list for unreferenced keys
From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@...nsys.com>
Add an isolated list of unreferenced keys to be queued for deletion, and
try to pin the keys in the garbage collector before processing anything.
Skip unpinnable keys.
In effect this means that exactly from the point of time when the usage
count is zeroed all of the GC collector processing will be skipped. Earlier
this was done only when key_put() function had done its processing, meaning
that keys with usage count in zero might get still processed.
Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@...nsys.com>

v4:
- Pin the key while processing key type teardown. Skip dead keys.
- Revert key_gc_graveyard back key_gc_unused_keys.
- Rewrote the commit message.
- "unsigned long flags" declaration somehow did make to the previous
patch (sorry).
v3:
- Using spin_lock() fails since key_put() is executed inside IRQs.
Using spin_lock_irqsave() would neither work given the lock is
acquired for /proc/keys. Therefore, separate the lock for
graveyard and key_graveyard before reaping key_serial_tree.
v2:
- Rename key_gc_unused_keys as key_gc_graveyard, and re-document the
function.
