key_reject_and_link() marking a key as negative and setting the error with
which it was negated races with keyring searches and other things that read
that error.
The fix is to switch the order in which the assignments are done in
key_reject_and_link() and to use memory barriers.
Kudos to Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@xxxxxxxxxx> and Scott Mayhew
<smayhew@xxxxxxxxxx> for tracking this down.
