6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Frederick Lawler <fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6b4b53ca0b7300ba2af98a49dbce22054bf034fe upstream. Calls to lookup_user_key() require a corresponding key_put() to decrement the usage counter. Once it reaches zero, we schedule key GC. Therefore decrement struct key.usage in alg_set_by_key_serial().
