Subject: KEYS: 64-bit MIPS needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace
From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df upstream.
MIPS64 needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace rather than
calling sys_keyctl. The latter will work in a lot of cases, thereby hiding
the issue.
