b2a4df200d KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring
Expand the capacity of a keyring to be able to hold a lot more keys by using
the previously added associative array implementation.  Currently the maximum
capacity is:

	(PAGE_SIZE - sizeof(header)) / sizeof(struct key *)

which, on a 64-bit system, is a little more 500.  However, since this is being
used for the NFS uid mapper, we need more than that.  The new implementation
gives us effectively unlimited capacity.

With some alterations, the keyutils testsuite runs successfully to completion
after this patch is applied.  The alterations are because (a) keyrings that
are simply added to no longer appear ordered and (b) some of the errors have
changed a bit.

233e4735f2 KEYS: Permit in-place link replacement in keyring list
Make use of the previous patch that makes the garbage collector perform RCU
synchronisation before destroying defunct keys.  Key pointers can now be
replaced in-place without creating a new keyring payload and replacing the
whole thing as the discarded keys will not be destroyed until all currently
held RCU read locks are released.

If the keyring payload space needs to be expanded or contracted, then a
replacement will still need allocating, and the original will still have to be
freed by RCU.

e9e349b051 KEYS: Disperse linux/key_ui.h
Disperse the bits of linux/key_ui.h as the reason they were put here (keyfs)
didn't get in.
