[PATCH] KEYS: Make request key instantiate the per-user keyrings

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Nov 10 2008 - 14:00:30 EST



Make request_key() instantiate the per-user keyrings so that it doesn't oops
if it needs to get hold of the user session keyring because there isn't a
session keyring in place.
