[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.
