4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bernat, Yehezkel <yehezkel.bernat@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 0956e41169222822d3557871fcd1d32e4fa7e934 upstream.

Non-root user may read the key back after root wrote it there.
This removes read access to everyone but root.
