KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches

Add support for per-user_namespace registers of persistent per-UID kerberos
caches held within the kernel.

This allows the kerberos cache to be retained beyond the life of all a user's
processes so that the user's cron jobs can work.

The kerberos cache is envisioned as a keyring/key tree looking something like:

	struct user_namespace
	  \___ .krb_cache keyring		- The register
		\___ _krb.0 keyring		- Root's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5000 keyring		- User 5000's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5001 keyring		- User 5001's Kerberos cache
			\___ tkt785 big_key	- A ccache blob
			\___ tkt12345 big_key	- Another ccache blob

Or possibly:

	struct user_namespace
	  \___ .krb_cache keyring		- The register
		\___ _krb.0 keyring		- Root's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5000 keyring		- User 5000's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5001 keyring		- User 5001's Kerberos cache
			\___ tkt785 keyring	- A ccache
				\___ krbtgt/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM big_key
				\___ http/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user
				\___ afs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user
				\___ nfs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user
				\___ krbtgt/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key
				\___ http/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key

What goes into a particular Kerberos cache is entirely up to userspace.  Kernel
support is limited to giving you the Kerberos cache keyring that you want.

The user asks for their Kerberos cache by:

	krb_cache = keyctl_get_krbcache(uid, dest_keyring);

The uid is -1 or the user's own UID for the user's own cache or the uid of some
other user's cache (requires CAP_SETUID).  This permits rpc.gssd or whatever to
mess with the cache.

The cache returned is a keyring named "_krb.<uid>" that the possessor can read,
search, clear, invalidate, unlink from and add links to.  Active LSMs get a
chance to rule on whether the caller is permitted to make a link.

Each uid's cache keyring is created when it first accessed and is given a
timeout that is extended each time this function is called so that the keyring
goes away after a while.  The timeout is configurable by sysctl but defaults to
three days.

Each user_namespace struct gets a lazily-created keyring that serves as the
register.  The cache keyrings are added to it.  This means that standard key
search and garbage collection facilities are available.

The user_namespace struct's register goes away when it does and anything left
in it is then automatically gc'd.
