KEYS: prevent keys from being removed from specified keyrings

Browse source 
Userspace should not be allowed to remove keys from certain keyrings
(eg. blacklist), though the keys themselves can expire.

This patch defines a new key flag named KEY_FLAG_KEEP to prevent
userspace from being able to unlink, revoke, invalidate or timed
out a key on a keyring.  When this flag is set on the keyring, all
keys subsequently added are flagged.

In addition, when this flag is set, the keyring itself can not be
cleared.
