keys: fix an RCU warning 

Fix the following RCU warning:

  ===================================================
  [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
  ---------------------------------------------------
  security/keys/request_key.c:116 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

This was caused by doing:

	[root@andromeda ~]# keyctl newring fred @s
	539196288
	[root@andromeda ~]# keyctl request2 user a a 539196288
	request_key: Required key not available
