[PATCH] CAN-2005-2098 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.
