keys: Provide request_key_rcu()

Provide a request_key_rcu() function that can be used to request a key
under RCU conditions.  It can only search and check permissions; it cannot
allocate a new key, upcall or wait for an upcall to complete.  It may
return a partially constructed key.

The request_key_rcu() call is like the in-kernel request_key() call, except
that it doesn't check for keys that are under construction and doesn't attempt
to construct missing keys.
The userspace interface links the key to a keyring associated with the process
to prevent the key from going away, and returns the serial number of the key to
the caller.
