[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 09/53] KEYS: ensure we free the assoc array edit if edit is valid

From: Kamal Mostafa

3.13.11-ckt25 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ca4da5dd1f99fe9c59f1709fb43e818b18ad20e0 upstream.

__key_link_end is not freeing the associated array edit structure
and this leads to a 512 byte memory leak each time an identical
existing key is added with add_key().

The reason the add_key() system call returns okay is that
key_create_or_update() calls __key_link_begin() before checking to see
whether it can update a key directly rather than adding/replacing - which
it turns out it can. Thus __key_link() is not called through
__key_instantiate_and_link() and __key_link_end() must cancel the edit.

CVE-2015-1333
