[PATCH] KEYS: Fix error handling in construct_key_and_link()

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Jun 21 2011 - 09:33:21 EST


Fix error handling in construct_key_and_link(). If construct_alloc_key()
returns an error, it shouldn't pass out through the normal path as the
key_serial() called by the kleave() statement will oops when it gets an error
code in the pointer:
