David Howells bcf945d36f [PATCH] Error during attempt to join key management session can leave semaphore pinned 
The attached patch prevents an error during the key session joining operation
from hanging future joins in the D state [CAN-2005-2098].

The problem is that the error handling path for the KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING
operation has one error path that doesn't release the session management
semaphore. Further attempts to get the semaphore will then sleep for ever in
the D state.

This can happen in four situations, all involving an attempt to allocate a new
session keyring:

 (1) ENOMEM.

 (2) The users key quota being reached.

 (3) A keyring name that is an empty string.

 (4) A keyring name that is too long.

Any user may attempt this operation, and so any user can cause the problem to
occur.
