No, that doesn't solve the problem.  The problem is that userspace can pass in a
NULL payload with nonzero length, causing the kernel to dereference a NULL
pointer for some key types.  For example:

	add_key("asymmetric", "desc", NULL, 1000, KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING)

Results in (assuming CONFIG_X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER=y):
