nvdimm_lookup_user_key() needs to indicate to lookup_user_key() what it wants
the key for so that the appropriate security checks can take place in SELinux
and Smack.  Note that I have a patch in the works that changes this still
further.

Does setting the third argument of lookup_user_key() to KEY_NEED_SEARCH work
for you?
