KEY_FLAG_KEEP is not meant to be passed to keyring_alloc() nor
key_alloc(), which only takes KEY_ALLOC_* flags.  KEY_FLAG_KEEP has the
same value as KEY_ALLOC_BYPASS_RESTRICTION, but fortunately only
key_create_or_update() uses it.  LSMs using the key_alloc hook don't
check such flag.

KEY_FLAG_KEEP is then ignored but fortunately (again) the root user
cannot write to the blacklist keyring, then it is not possible to remove
a key/hash from it.

Remove KEY_FLAG_KEEP from the call to keyring_alloc() and set the
keyring flags with it.

This should not fix a bug with the current implementation but it is
required for the next commit to allow to add new hashes to the blacklist
without the possibility to remove them.
