Subject[082/107] KEYS: Fix error handling in construct_key_and_link()
2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

commit b1d7dd80aadb9042e83f9778b484a2f92e0b04d4 upstream.

Fix error handling in construct_key_and_link().

If construct_alloc_key() returns an error, it shouldn't pass out through
the normal path as the key_serial() called by the kleave() statement
will oops when it gets an error code in the pointer:
