[PATCH] Keys: Pass session keyring to call_usermodehelper()
The attached patch makes it possible to pass a session keyring through to the process spawned by call_usermodehelper(). This allows patch 3/3 to pass an authorisation key through to /sbin/request-key, thus permitting better access controls when doing just-in-time key creation.
