Subject: KEYS: refcount bug fix
From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1d6d167c2efcfe9539d9cffb1a1be9c92e39c2c0 upstream.
This patch fixes the key_ref leak, removes the unnecessary KEY_FLAG_KEEP
test before setting the flag, and cleans up the if/then brackets style
introduced in commit:
d3600bc KEYS: prevent keys from being removed from specified keyrings
