David Howells 8589b4e00e [PATCH] Keys: Use RCU to manage session keyring pointer
The attached patch uses RCU to manage the session keyring pointer in struct
signal_struct.  This means that searching need not disable interrupts and get
a the sighand spinlock to access this pointer.  Furthermore, by judicious use
of rcu_read_(un)lock(), this patch also avoids the need to take and put
refcounts on the session keyring itself, thus saving on even more atomic ops.
