KEYS: don't revoke uninstantiated key in request_key_auth_new()
If key_instantiate_and_link() were to fail (which fortunately isn't possible currently), the call to key_revoke(authkey) would crash with a NULL pointer dereference in request_key_auth_revoke() because the key has not yet been instantiated. Fix this by removing the call to key_revoke(). key_put() is sufficient, as it's not possible for an uninstantiated authkey to have been used for anything yet. Fixes: b5f545c880a2 ("[PATCH] keys: Permit running process to instantiate keys") Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
