[PATCH] KEYS: fix KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV error case memory leak

From: Tommi Rantala
Date: Fri Nov 02 2012 - 08:44:45 EST


Avoid leaking memory in the keyctl() KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV operation, by also
checking in the error case if rw_copy_check_uvector() kmalloc'd memory for us.

Discovered with Trinity.
