watch_queue: Add a key/keyring notification facility

Add a key/keyring change notification facility whereby notifications about
changes in key and keyring content and attributes can be received.

Firstly, an event queue needs to be created:

	pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);
	ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, 256);

then a notification can be set up to report notifications via that queue:

	struct watch_notification_filter filter = {
		.nr_filters = 1,
		.filters = {
			[0] = {
				.type = WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY,
				.subtype_filter[0] = UINT_MAX,
			},
		},
	};
	ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter);
	keyctl_watch_key(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, fds[1], 0x01);

After that, records will be placed into the queue when events occur in
which keys are changed in some way.  Records are of the following format:

	struct key_notification {
		struct watch_notification watch;
		__u32	key_id;
		__u32	aux;
	} *n;

Where:

	n->watch.type will be WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY.

	n->watch.subtype will indicate the type of event, such as
	NOTIFY_KEY_REVOKED.

	n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_LENGTH will indicate the length of the
	record.

	n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_ID will be the second argument to
	keyctl_watch_key(), shifted.

	n->key will be the ID of the affected key.

	n->aux will hold subtype-dependent information, such as the key
	being linked into the keyring specified by n->key in the case of
	NOTIFY_KEY_LINKED.

Note that it is permissible for event records to be of variable length -
or, at least, the length may be dependent on the subtype.  Note also that
the queue can be shared between multiple notifications of various types.
