KEYS: fix freeing uninitialized memory in key_update()

Commit Message

From: Eric Biggers <[e-mail]>

key_update() freed the key_preparsed_payload even if it was not
initialized first.  This would cause a crash if userspace called
keyctl_update() on a key with type like "asymmetric" that has a
->preparse() method but not an ->update() method.  Possibly it could
even be triggered for other key types by racing with keyctl_setperm() to
make the KEY_NEED_WRITE check fail (the permission was already checked,
so normally it wouldn't fail there).

Reproducer with key type "asymmetric", given a valid cert.der:

keyctl new_session
keyid=$(keyctl padd asymmetric desc @s < cert.der)
keyctl setperm $keyid 0x3f000000
keyctl update $keyid data

David, where was this pulled to?  It's not in keys-next at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git.  Nor did
it show up in v4.12-rc1.
