[PATCH] KEYS: prevent NULL pointer dereference in find_asymmetric_key()

From: Roman Smirnov
Date: Fri Mar 15 2024 - 06:49:17 EST


With the current code, in case all NULLs are passed in id_{0,1,2},
the kernel will first print out a WARNING and then have an oops
because id_2 gets dereferenced anyway.
Note that WARN_ON() is also considered harmful by Greg Kroah-
Hartman since it causes the Android kernels to panic as they
get booted with the panic_on_warn option.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
